ABOUT THIS BOOK
The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (2023), which replaced the Indian Evidence Act (1872), came into force on 1 July 2024. Passed by the Parliament in 2023, the new Act, along with the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, aims to revamp the Indian criminal justice system by replacing the dated colonial-era laws through adopting a victim-centric approach and addressing present-day requirements.
The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam is meant not just for legal practitioners, judges, law students and scholars but for general readers as well.
The book with its easy-to-read presentation is an important resource for understanding the new Act holistically and comprehensively. Also, the addition of a table with sections of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (2023) and corresponding sections of the Indian Evidence Act (1872) allows the reader to compare and comprehend the Acts better.
