Description
The whole legal edifice in India stands on four pillars: C.P.C; Cr.PC, I.P.C. and Evidence Act. Among them the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 is the important one and one of the oldest Acts, enacted in British India. However all these years, it is being amended from time to time to make it up to date to face the challenges of the changed conditions in the society. The author presents this volume of the Law of Evidence in simple language, in concise form and in lucid style. This text book on Law of Evidence is a comprehensive one based on the recent syllabus of Bar Council of India. Lal Perera, an Attonery-at-Law of Sri Lanka, who appreciated the contents of this book advised to enlarge the contents of hearsay and rule of best evidence. Hence, the author recasted the contents of the 'Rule of Hearsay Evidence' and 'The Rule of Best Evidence' and pays his gratitude to Shri Lal Perera for his appreciation and advice. This Text is the 30th contribution of the author to the law faculty and student community. The author express his profound gratitude to the authors and publishers of the references. The author is thankful to the publishers "Asia Law House, Hyderabad" for bringing out this book in attractive form. Suggestions from the readers for improvement are welcome and will be gratefully acknowledged.
