Section 169 of BSA : Section 169: No new trial for improper admission or rejection of evidence.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Rajesh was on trial for theft. During the trial, the prosecution presented a piece of evidence that Rajesh's lawyer argued was improperly admitted because it was obtained without a proper search warrant. Despite this, the court found Rajesh guilty based on other substantial evidence, such as eyewitness testimonies and CCTV footage showing Rajesh committing the theft. Rajesh's lawyer appealed for a new trial on the grounds of the improper admission of evidence. However, the appellate court denied the request, stating that even without the improperly admitted evidence, there was enough other evidence to justify the guilty verdict.

Example 2:

Meena was suing her employer for wrongful termination. During the trial, the judge rejected a piece of evidence that Meena's lawyer wanted to present, which was an email from the employer that Meena claimed showed discriminatory intent. Despite this, the court ruled in Meena's favor based on other evidence, such as witness statements and company records showing a pattern of discriminatory behavior. The employer appealed the decision, arguing that the rejection of the email evidence was improper and warranted a new trial. The appellate court upheld the original decision, stating that even if the email had been admitted, it would not have changed the outcome of the case.
