But with the advent of time, the position of women gradually declined.

Not only the primary piece of evidence ( under Chapter V of the Evidence Act, 1872 ) is of great importance, but also the court gives equal importance to Documentary evidence during the course of the trial.

We live in a world where a lot of crimes take place and people cannot be controlled from committing wrong unless there is a law and order to safeguard our country, that’s the reason we have courts.
