Which of the following pairs correctly matches a branch of law with its nature?
Law of property as substantive private law is the correct pairing. Property law creates and defines rights over assets between private persons. The other pairings are wrong because contract is civil, the Penal Code is substantive criminal law, and the law of evidence is procedural.
- ALaw of contract – criminal law
- BIndian Penal Code – procedural law of civil suits
- CLaw of property – substantive private lawCorrect
- DLaw of evidence – substantive criminal law
Explanation
Property law defines rights over assets between private persons, so it is substantive private law. Contract law is civil, not criminal; the Penal Code defines offences and punishments rather than civil procedure; law of evidence is procedural, not substantive.
