Presumption as to documents etc.

There are a number of the forms of documents, whereabout Qanoon e Shahadat Order 1984 provides certain presumptions. It is similar to the deduction which the law expressly directs to be made from particular facts. It is a rule of law which declares that one fact is presumed to exist if another fact or set of facts is proved. Legal presumptions usually arise from considerations of public policy; for purposes of convenience; from a desire to provide an escape from a dilemma; or to force a litigant to whom certain information is more easily accessible to make it known.
