The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA-2023) is a comprehensive and updated academic text on the new law of evidence in India, enacted to replace the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. This book provides a clear, systematic, and contemporary understanding of evidentiary principles under the modern criminal justice framework.
The text thoroughly explains the classification of evidence, relevance and admissibility, burden of proof, presumptions, documentary and oral evidence, expert evidence, confessions, electronic and digital evidence, and evidentiary procedures as restructured under the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023. Special emphasis is laid on the treatment of electronic records, digital footprints, and technologically driven evidence, reflecting present-day investigative realities.
Written in a student-friendly and examination-oriented manner, the book integrates statutory provisions, leading judicial interpretations, illustrations, and problem-based questions to aid conceptual clarity. The inclusion of cases, questions, and hints makes it especially useful for academic learning as well as competitive exam preparation.
Authored by Mayank Madhaw and published by Singhal Law Publications, this book is an essential reference for understanding the transition from the colonial Evidence Act to India’s new evidence regime under BSA-2023.
