The Evidence Act

This law is closely tied to the expertise and thinking of lawyers.

The Evidence Act applies not only to criminal cases but also to civil cases. Under this law, there are different types of witnesses, and it specifies who is eligible to testify. Evidence can be either oral (spoken testimony) or documentary (written records).

This law provides detailed explanations and examples to help people understand its provisions better. For instance, when evidence is presented in court, the law clarifies whether it is relevant to the case or not. It also defines which leading questions (suggestive questions) are allowed and which are not during cross-examination.

If legal professionals—such as lawyers and judges—study this law thoroughly, they can use it to uncover the truth in legal disputes. Because of its importance in handling hidden legal complexities, the Evidence Act is essential for every lawyer and judge to learn and remember.
