Explanation:
Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872, defines an expert as a person specially skilled in foreign law, science, art, or as to identity of handwriting or finger impressions. The core requirement is special skill in the relevant subject matter, not necessarily academic degrees, publications, or language proficiency.
