The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 aims to unify and establish standardized rules and principles of evidence to ensure fair trials in criminal cases.

This new Bill intends to overhaul the evidence laws by updating them to reflect current public needs and aspirations.
Definition of Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) Section 98
Evidence as to document unmeaning in reference to existing facts- When language used in a document is plain in itself, but is unmeaning in reference to existing facts, evidence may be given to show that it was used in a peculiar sense.
Illustration- A sells to B, by deed, “my house in Kolkata”. A had no house in Kolkata, but it appears that he had a house at Howrah, of which B had been in possession since the execution of the deed. These facts may be proved to show that the deed related to the house at Howrah.
