Friends,
I am facing a divorce litigation filed by my husband under HMA. It is not at the Evidence stage.
Section 60 of the Indian Evidence Act states that the oral evidence must be direct.
e.g. the witness refers to a fact which he heard means that he heard "while being present" to hear it.
Does it mean that the witness who heard it means he heard it over telephone? Is that acceptable?
In short, I want to distinguish the "hearing" by a witness. "Hearing" A) "while being present at a scene" or B) "Over telephone"
What is acceptable under the Indian evidence act?
Kindly help me.
Madhuri
