Description
Lexis Nexis The Law Of Evidence-As Amended By The Criminal Law (Amendment) Act 2013 by Ratanlal and Dhirajlal
The law of evidence plays an indispensable role in the administration of justice. It is only through reliable, relevant, and admissible evidence that substantive rights may be established in a court of law. The courts have, over the years painstakingly analysed and interpreted different forms of evidence—written, oral and electronic—in their effort to arrive at the right conclusions. Recent judgments may be seen to be aids for Parliament in amending existing legislation and in formulating new provisions in consonance with the times. Ratanlal & Dhirajlal’s Law of Evidence is one of the country’s most relied on and respected titles and has been in print for almost a century. The sheer fact that the book has gone through many editions, stands testimony to its intrinsic worth and scholastic wealth. This 25th edition incorporates the changes made by the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 and critically analyses the latest case law. This book is invaluable for trial lawyers—civil and criminal—advanced students of law, forensic sciences, criminology, gender studies and human rights.
