Section 221 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, (BSA), 2023
The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (Indian Evidence Act, 2023), enacted by the Parliament of India, consolidates and provides general rules and principles of evidence for fair trials. This Act replaces the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, and is part of a broader reform of India's criminal laws.(en.wikipedia.org)
Section 221 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, pertains to the presumption of due execution of documents not produced. Specifically, it states that if a document, which has been called for and not produced after notice to produce, is not presented, the court shall presume that the document was attested, stamped, and executed in the manner required by law.(taxguru.in)
This provision emphasizes the importance of producing documents when required and establishes a legal presumption against parties who fail to do so. It aims to streamline legal proceedings by reducing delays caused by the non-production of documents.
For a comprehensive understanding of Section 221 and other provisions of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, you can refer to the official document available on the India Code website.
