وکیل کے بیان میں پیش کردہ دستاویزات متدعویہ کو بطور شہادت نہ پڑھا جاسکتا ہے

 2024 CLC 1503

Article 78 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order, 1984, which is akin to Section 67 of the Evidence Act, 1872 lays down the mode of proof of execution of document. Any document which is brought on the record without adhering the mandatory provisions would not be admissible. After having an overview of the principles noted hereinabove it can be held without any hint of doubt that the document (Exhibit-D1) and undertaking submitted by the petitioner would be nothing except stray papers in the eye of law. It is an oft repeated principle of law that disputed documents cannot be tendered in evidence through the statement of counsel of the party. The reason for such restriction is that through such procedure the opposing party becomes deprived to challenge the authenticity of such document by way of cross-examination.
