What do you mean by common reputation in section 43 rule 130

Answer 1

The term "common reputation" in Section 43, Rule 130 of the Rules of Court refers to the general opinion or belief that is widely held among the public about a certain person or thing. This can be used as evidence in court to establish facts or establish the character of a person or thing, but it is not equivalent to direct evidence or proof. Instead, it is considered a form of hearsay evidence that can be used to support a party's argument or case.
