Which ground corresponds to 'Newly discovered evidence'?

• A. Newly discovered evidence
• B. Excusable neglect
• C. Fraud
• D. Judgment void

Answer: (A)

Newly discovered evidence is a recognized ground for relief from a final judgment. The idea is that if truly new information comes to light after judgment—information that could not have been discovered with due diligence before the judgment—and that evidence would probably have changed the outcome, the court may reopen or reconsider the case. The key is that the evidence must be genuinely new and material to the merits, and it should be discoverable only after the judgment.

Other grounds serve different purposes: excusable neglect addresses a party’s failure to act due to a justifiable lapse; fraud concerns concealment or deceit by the opposing party; a judgment void covers fundamental defects like lack of jurisdiction. So the ground that matches the phrase is the post-judgment relief for newly discovered evidence.
