<h1>Section 96: No External Evidence Allowed to Clarify Ambiguous or Defective Document Language in 2023 Law</h1> Section 96 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, stipulates that when a document's language is ambiguous or defective, external evidence cannot be used to clarify its meaning or correct its deficiencies. For example, if a written agreement states a price ambiguously as 'one lakh rupees or one lakh fifty thousand rupees,' evidence cannot be introduced to determine the intended price. Similarly, if a deed contains blanks, evidence cannot be used to indicate how these blanks should be filled. This provision ensures the integrity of documentary evidence by excluding oral explanations for ambiguities.
