Dewan's Proof of Documents (Civil and Criminal) Including Digital Signature and Electronic Records

.....................................................................................................................................

Description

The proof of of the Genuineness of a Document is proof of the authorship of the document and is proof of a fact like that of any other fact; the evidence relating thereto may be direct or circumstantial, or may consist of direct evidence of a person who said the document being written or the signature being affixed. Although many questions under the Law of Proof of Documents have to be decided on the facts of each case; yet the value of reported decision as guides cannot be eliminated altogether, I have, therefore, spared no pains to collect these decisions instances, helpful as guides. I hope, that the readers would agree with me. I have tried to give the law in words of Judges themselves, as I do think that the course more helpful to practising lawyers, although the method of some places works out the cast of brevity. The present work has been complied for the purpose of bringing up-to-date case-law and amendments in one volume as a practical hand book and as guide of Lawyers, Courts and Officers.
