Spoken testimony that witness gives in a court, usually upon oath. Oral evidence is always direct. "Oral Evidence means statements which the court permits or requires to be made before it by witnesses in relation to matters of fact under inquiry. But, if a witness is unable to speak he may give his evidence in any manner in which he can make it intelligible as by writing or by signs". (Section 119)
A relationship between section 50 and section 60 of the Indian Evidence Act has been established which says that for proving an evidence completely, two things shall be fulfilled at first, there shall be a presence of relevant facts and those facts have been presented directly by the person who has either seen them, heard them or etc. [Amar Singh v. Chhaju Singh]
