Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD KHAN VS MUHAMMAD AKRAM arts.49, 70, 72, 91, 92 129---Mutation---Onus to proof---Oral and documentary evidence---Preference---Scope---Presumption of genuineness attached to documentary evidence---Scope---Once a document has been proved in accordance with law, the genuineness of its contents could be presumed and the rule that the "document speaks for itself' (acta probant sese ipsa) could be deployed---Rationale behind the presumptions attached to written documents stem out of both principles as well as policy---Presumptions are a matter of principle because written documents are, by their very nature, to be accorded a higher degree of credibility as opposed to oral evidence; otherwise, it would bring uncertainty and chaos if written documents (and valuable rights, if any, attached to them) are allowed to be set aside on the basis of oral evidence.
