AI Summary

I am sorry, but the case information provided is insufficient to create a case summary. The title "Section 5 in The Indian Evidence Act, 1872" is not a case title. It is a section within a statute. The "Court" is listed as "Union of India - Section" which is not a valid court name. The date "15 March 1872" is the date the Act was enacted, not a case judgment date.

To provide a proper summary, I need a real case name (e.g., State of Maharashtra v. XYZ), the court that decided the case (e.g., Supreme Court of India, Bombay High Court), and ideally a citation or a brief description of the factual background and legal issues involved in the case that interprets Section 5 of the Indian Evidence Act.

Please provide a valid case to summarize.
