Section 129 BSA: Privileged Evidence on Affairs of State
Under Section 129 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, no person may be permitted to give evidence derived from unpublished official records relating to affairs of State without permission from the head of the department. When examining privilege claims alongside procedural summonses under 129 bnss, courts balance public interest immunity with procedural fairness during investigations governed by 129 BNSS.
