Woodroffe and Ali's Law of Evidence, is the acclaimed all-time classic sec­tion-wise commentary on the Indian Evidence Act 1872. In this 18th edi­tion, revising author Prof V Kesava Rao has updated the case law, while maintaining the basic framework. Also, three new chapters have been added?System of Judicial Enquiry: Traditions and Features, Principles of the Law of Evidence and Indian Evidence Act: An Overview. A comparative study has been made of the British and American law of evidence in the light of the Indian Evidence Act 1872. The text includes central and state amendments and, wherever necessary, Broom's Legal Maxims, Black's Law Dictionary and Corpus Juris Secandum have been drawn on to elucidate principles of law.
