What does the term 'Prima Facie' mean?

  1. Beyond a reasonable doubt

  2. With utmost importance

  3. So far as can be judged from the first appearance

  4. Given the benefit of the doubt

The correct answer is: So far as can be judged from the first appearance

'Prima Facie' is a Latin term that means 'at first face' or 'at first sight'. This term is usually used in legal contexts to refer to evidence that is sufficient to establish a fact or a case until it is rebutted or proved otherwise. It is important to note that 'Prima Facie' is not the same as 'Beyond a reasonable doubt' (option A), which is an even higher standard of proof required in criminal cases. Option B, 'With utmost importance' is incorrect because it does not accurately describe the meaning of 'Prima Facie'. Option D, 'Given the benefit of the doubt' is also incorrect because it implies a situation where doubts or uncertainties exist, while 'Prima Facie' is used to describe certainty based on initial evidence.
