Section 135 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, (BSA), 2023
Sure! Here's an explanation of Section 135 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023 in English:
Section 135: Production of Title Deeds of Witness Not a Party
This section protects a witness who is not a party to the case from being forced to produce documents related to their own property, such as title deeds or documents showing mortgage or charges on the property.
Key points:
If a witness is not involved as a party in the case, they cannot be compelled to produce documents related to their property.
This includes title deeds or any document that proves ownership or encumbrance on their property.
However, if the witness voluntarily agrees in writing to produce such documents, they may do so.
The purpose of this section is to protect witnesses from being forced to reveal personal property documents which might expose them to legal or financial risks.
