(2015 SCMR 1044) has elaborately defined Article 79 and finally concluded that its requirement was mandatory and without its strict compliance, such a document cannot be used as evidence. Although, report of such an Expert is not conclusive proof, but in absence of one of the marginal witnesses, when requirement of Article 80 of the Order, 1984 was also not complied with, this mode was to be followed. See ?
(PLD 1995 Supreme Court 381),wherein it was held that the report of Expert is one of the modes of proving the document and if the said report is properly exhibited, the same can be used as corroborative piece of evidence. By not resorting to this exercise at any stage, the plaintiff incurred an adverse presumption against him.
