Book Description
Law of Evidence is a classic and authoritative commentary on the law of evidence, now thoroughly revised to align with the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, which replaces the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. Authored originally by Vepa P. Sarathi and meticulously updated by K. A. Pandey, this ninth edition reflects the latest statutory framework and judicial developments.
The book provides a section-wise, analytical, and practical exposition of evidentiary principles governing relevance, admissibility, burden of proof, presumptions, oral and documentary evidence, and electronic evidence. It successfully blends theoretical clarity with practical application, supported by leading and recent case laws.
Renowned for its clarity, depth, and reliability, this work continues to be a must-have reference for courts, practitioners, and students navigating India’s reformed evidence law regime.
