Law of Accomplice Explained in detail | Comparative study of Sec 138 BSA 2023 & Sec 133 IEA 1872

In this detailed comparative analysis, we break down the major changes to the law of accomplice under the new Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (BSA) replacing the old Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (IEA). Key highlights: Old rule under Section 133 IEA: An accomplice is a competent witness, and conviction was not illegal merely on uncorroborated testimony (rule of prudence via Section 114 Illustration b). New rule under Section 138 BSA: Conviction is not illegal if it proceeds upon the corroborated testimony of an accomplice → making corroboration mandatory in practice for reliable conviction. Why this shift? From discretionary caution to statutory mandate – impact on criminal trials, approvers, and evidence reliability in India. #bsa #supremecourt #accomplice #indianevidenceact #newcriminallaws #evidencelaw #criminallawindia #BSAvIEA #jurisprudence
