The intersection of traditional hearsay evidence principles with modern electronic evidence represents one of the most significant developments in Indian evidentiary law. As digital technology becomes increasingly prevalent in legal proceedings, courts must navigate the complex relationship between age-old hearsay rules and contemporary forms of electronic proof. This evolution reached a pivotal moment with the Delhi High Court's decision in Kundan Singh v. The State (2015) and has been further transformed by the enactment of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) 2023, which fundamentally reimagines how electronic evidence is treated within the Indian legal framework.
