| Summary: | The BSA, replacing the Evidence Act, now has 170 sections instead of the earlier 167, with 23 sections changed, 1 new section added, and 5 sections repealed. Emphasising the importance and role of information technology, the BSA enlarges the definition of a document to include electronic records and recognises them as primary evidence. It also permits depositions, examinations, and cross-examinations of accused and witnesses through video conferencing. Further, digitalisation of criminal process from FIR to case diary, case diary to charge-sheet and charge-sheet to judgment as also videography of search and seizure have been emphasised and provided. |
