Bare Acts › Indian Evidence Act, 1872

Section 59

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (from 2024-07-01). The prior text continues to govern matters arising before that date.

Proof of facts by oral evidence.--

The Evidence Act 1872 was replaced by the BSA 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 59 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 170, BSA 2023).

All facts, except the contents of documents, may be proved by oral evidence.
