    Introduction of the course


    In every civilized legal system we can classify the laws in two categories 1. Substantive Law 2.
    Procedural laws. The Law of evidence is one of the most important part of the procedural law.
    The law of evidence plays a very important role in the effective functioning of the judicial
    system. The law of evidence is an indispensable part of both substantive and procedural laws. It
    imparts credibility to the adjudicatory process by indicating the degree of veracity to be
    attributed to 'facts' before the forum. This paper enables the student to appreciate the concepts
    and principles underlying the law of evidence and identify the recognized forms of evidence and
    its sources. The subject seeks to impart to the student the skills of examination and appreciation
    of oral and documentary evidence in order to find out the truth. The art of examination and cross-
    examination, and the shifting nature of burden of proof are crucial topics. The concepts brought
    in by amendments to the law of evidence are significant parts of study in this course.
