The Evidence Act

Year: 1872

Type: Domestic law

Rights Category: Liberty & security of person

Description

The law of evidence in Bangladesh has remained the same as it was in 1872. The Act is the primary law for determining the admissibility and relevancy of evidence in courts. However, this century-old legislation strikes a discordant note with modern times where evidence is not limited to oral accounts and physical documents. This Act applies to the whole of Bangladesh and to all judicial proceedings.
