Indian Evidence Act, 1872

IEA Section 132 in BSA

§ 132 IEA§ 138 BSA

Witness not excused from answering on ground that answer will criminate. Section 132 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (Witness not excused from answering on ground that answer will criminate) corresponds to Section 138 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023.

Verify before you rely on this. Renumbering under the 2023 codes is not a clean one-to-one exercise — provisions were merged, split and reworded. Always check the printed bare act.

Practise it

Section 45 has AIBE 22 questions on this area, each cited to both codes with a line telling you where to find it in the bare act. Ten questions per subject are free.
