The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 has been replaced by the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 — but every proceeding begun before the changeover is still governed by it, and comparative old-versus-new questions are now standard. Dr. M.P. Tandon’s The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 is the classic student commentary on the original Act: relevancy of facts, admissions and confessions, dying declarations, opinion and expert evidence, documentary and oral evidence, the burden of proof and presumptions, estoppel, and the examination of witnesses — each built around the landmark authorities.
For students in transition, reading Tandon on the 1872 Act alongside a BSA text is the clearest way to see exactly what the new Adhiniyam changed and what it merely renumbered. 2023 edition.
