Kyu Khate the Geeta ki Kasam? | Indian Oaths Act
We'll talk about the unusual tradition of witnesses swearing an oath by the Gita or any other holy book before testifying in this video. Depending on the witness's religion, the court would have kept a variety of holy religious books, and the witness would have to swear to follow his book of faith before the trial could begin.
This began to occur during the Mughal era, when it was thought that Indians were less likely to lie on the stand if they had taken an oath based on their sacred text. British lawmakers adopted the same method in 1873 when they passed the Indian Oaths Act.
The Oaths Act of 1873 was redesigned as the Oaths Act of 1969, nevertheless, in response to the Law Commission's 28th Law Report's recommendations. Because of this act's more uniform and secular approach, the custom of swearing allegiance to a religious text was abandoned.
