Section 212 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, (BSA), 2023
Certainly, Shivam! Let's break it down in a simple and clear way:
π What is the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023?
The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 is the new Indian Evidence Act, passed to replace the old Indian Evidence Act, 1872.
It deals with:
What types of evidence can be used in Indian courts.
How evidence is presented, accepted, or rejected.
Rules for oral, documentary, electronic, and expert evidence.
π How many sections are in the BSA, 2023?
The Act contains 170 sections in total.
So, Section 212 does not exist in this law because it ends at Section 170.
If you search or check the official Gazette or bare act, you will find that thereβs no content beyond Section 170.
β Then What Could "Section 212" Refer To?
You might be confusing it with another new criminal law, such as:
| Law | Type | Total Sections | Common Confusion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023 | Criminal law (replaces IPC) | Has 358 Sections | Yes |
| Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023 | Criminal Procedure (replaces CrPC) | Has 531 Sections | Yes |
| Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023 | Evidence law (replaces Evidence Act) | Only 170 Sections | No Section 212 |
β What Should You Do?
If you are sure you want info on Section 212, please confirm which Act you're referring to:
BNS β Criminal offences (like murder, theft)
BNSS β Criminal procedures (like FIRs, bail)
I can then give you an exact and simple explanation of that section.
