520			_aabout one and half centuries have elapsed since the Indian Evidence Act has been enacted in 1872 and the Act, as expertly drafted by Sir James Fitz James Stephen, has survived in all its pristine glory, the turmoil and turbulence of two World Wars and a long-drawn nationalistic Independence Movement. The Act has been in force, mutatis mutandis, in many other erstwhile British colonies, including India's immediate neighbors like Pakistan, Sri Lanka etc. and in Asia and Africa. Barring few changes necessitated by the emergence of electronic era and organized crime and terrorism, the Act has not undergone ant noteworthy changes. The Law Commission of India has also on occasions reviewed the functioning of specific provisions of the Act, and, in 1977 under the Chairmanship of Justice PB Gajendragadkar, and in 2003 under the Chairmanship of Justice M. Jagannadha Rao, submitted scholarly and through-going Reports on the functioning of the entire Indian Evidence Act. Though various important suggestions have been made in both the above reports, there were no proposals for any overhauling of the Act.
