Ratanlal & Dhirajlal: The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 is a detailed, section-wise book on the Adhiniyam which came into effect from 1 July 2024.

It enriches its analysis by including relevant judgments from the period under the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, illustrating how the courts previously interpreted the similar issues.
