The Indian Evidence Act, 1872 will be replaced by The Bharatiya Sakshaya Bill, 2023

BJP GOVERNMENT INTRODUCES BILLS TO REPLACE IPC, 1860; CRPC, 1973; IEA, 1872 IN LOK SABHA

The Modi Government introduces three Bills to replace British-Era Criminal statutory and procedural laws. These bills are “The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; The Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023; and The Bharatiya Sakshya Bill, 2023, and these bills will replace The Indian Penal Code, 1860; The Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973; and The Indian Evidence Act, 1872.

The Indian Evidence Act of 1872 is a crucial piece of legislation in the Indian legal system. It was enacted to provide a comprehensive set of rules and provisions governing the admissibility, relevancy, and weight of evidence in court proceedings. The Act aims to ensure fairness and consistency in the judicial process by establishing guidelines for the presentation and evaluation of evidence in various types of cases.

The Indian Evidence Act was based on the English Law of Evidence, and it came into effect on September 1, 1872. It was introduced during British colonial rule in India and has continued to play a vital role in shaping the country’s legal landscape even after independence.

The three proposed statutes were referred to a Parliamentary Standing Committee that would hold exhaustive deliberations and is expected to table the report by the next session of Parliament. “From 1860 to 2023, the country’s criminal justice system functioned as per the laws made by the British. With these three laws, there will be a major transformation in the criminal justice system”.

This amendment will be a major change since the enactment of the Indian Evidence Act. Once this bill passes in both houses and gets the assent of the President of India, it changes the British-era criminal laws.
