Description

Ratanlal & Dhirajlal: The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 is a detailed, section-wise book
on the Adhiniyam which came into effect from 1 July 2024. This book meticulously explains
the new provisions introduced by the Adhiniyam and highlights the changes introduced in the
provisions of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
This book further ensures that the spirit and essence of the original work are maintained,
preserving its relevance and applicability to both the Act and the Adhiniyam. It enriches its
analysis by including relevant judgments from the period under the Indian Evidence Act,
1872, illustrating how the courts previously interpreted the similar issues. This dual approach
of comparing old and new provisions, supported by judicial precedents, makes the book an
invaluable tool for understanding the evolution of evidence law in India.
