Evidence Act, 1872

This authoritative edition consolidates the full Evidence Act, 1872 with clause-by-clause annotations, concise summaries of leading cases, and practical tools for courtroom practice. The book explains foundational principles — relevance and admissibility (Sections 3–16), modes of proof (oral and documentary), proof of documents and presumptions, the law on confessions and dying declarations, rules on witness competency and examination, and critical doctrines such as burden and standard of proof (Sections 101–114). Special emphasis is given to modern evidentiary issues: admissibility of electronic records and certificates, expert evidence and forensic material, and procedural tips for handling objections and marking exhibits. Each chapter ends with practice notes, sample witness statements, checklist templates for trials and investigations, and quick-reference flowcharts for proof strategies. Designed as a daily desk reference, this volume helps advocates draft stronger pleadings, prepare witnesses, and manage evidentiary disputes efficiently; it is also an excellent study aid for law students preparing for exams or moot courts. Indexed and cross-referenced for fast lookup, the book turns doctrine and case law into actionable courtroom steps.
