The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (IAST: Bhāratīya Sākśya Adhiniyam; lit. 'Indian Evidence Act') is an Act of the Parliament of India.[1][2][3]
The Adhiniyam consists of 170 sections as opposed to the 167 sections in the previous Indian Evidence Act. Of these 167 sections, 23 sections have been modified, five removed, and one more section added.[7][8][9][10]
The new law makes it difficult for defendants to defend themselves at court & encourages prosecutors to produce potentially dubious evidence.[11]
