Dear Sir,

The law of evidence, also known as the rules of evidence, encompasses the rules and legal principles that govern the proof of facts in a legal proceeding. These rules determine what evidence must or must not be considered by the trier of fact in reaching its decision.

Prosecutors and defendants in criminal proceedings may present evidence in support of their cases. The state has the burden of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while the defendant may present evidence to challenge the state’s case. Each side should have the opportunity to review the other side’s evidence before trial and object to the introduction of certain evidence before or during trial. In criminal cases, defendants may move the court to exclude evidence that the state obtained in violation of their constitutional rights.

Complainant has to produce original sale agreement 

 

 

2) complainant can rely upon xerox copies when original are lost 

 

3) if signature are forged on documents it has to be sent to hand writing expert for his opinion

1.  In a criminal case (like 138 N.I.Act), ONLY original documents can be produced as evidence.  Photocopies are not admissible as evidence.  Hence in absence of original documents, the case has to be dismissed and further appeal even in HC is also not possible.

2.   However opposite party can file Civil Case to recover money, AGAIN provided proper original documentary evidence and witnesses are available.

Dear Sir,

In cheque bounce cases the burden of leading rebuttal evidence will be on the accused. The court will raise presumption regarding the passing of consideration once cheque is admitted irrespective of supportive documents.

Xerox copy of any document is not admissible in evidence. In case the other party admits the Xerox copy of any document, in that case you are not required to prove it but otherwise, the the Xerox copy is not admissible.

The case may be based on the sale agreement, however it is a cheque bounce case, hence the complainant will be allowed to prosecute his case, you may have to challenge it properly and get it dismissed on merits and with the support of documentary evidences in your side.

No it is not possible to prove the case without proper evidences against accused.

The burden of proof now is on complaint to prove his case and not he cannot change the cause of action from property transaction to cheque for security of loan.

Magistrate now at this stage cannot do anything except recording of all evidence after that he will pronounce judgment. 

Now you have only remedy that is by filling quashing petition before high court on the ground of forged agreement he was trying to produce

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that the Magistrate has used his discretion to decide the matter which has been envisaged in him by law.
  2. Yes, he has not only gone through the forged of it but also the fact that the same is not been registered one.
  3. Though there can be argument in further appeal by the other side that without presence of original agreement, judge should not have relied upon the photo copy irrespective of his discretion power with him.

You can request the court to impose cost on him and ask for damages. Furthermore, you can file a case for defamation.
