explicitly or by implication, though in the definition of the word

Direct evidence and Indirect evidence or Circumstantial
evidence
Section 3 states that all statements which the Court permits or requires to
be made before it by witnesses, in relation to matters of fact under inquiry,
such statements are called oral evidence

collected in legal manner. This Act is silent regarding manner of collection of
Evidence. It concentrate on relevancy of facts.

evidence in trial?
