§ 137 IEA§ 142 BSA

Examination-in-chief, cross-examination and re-examination. Section 137 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (Examination-in-chief, cross-examination and re-examination) corresponds to Section 142 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.
