Narbada Devi Gupta vs Birendra Kumar Jaiswal And Anr on 3 November, 2003

In Narbada Devi Gupta vs Birendra K um ar Jaisw al, (2003) 8 SCC 745, Supreme Court reiterated the legal position that marking of documents as exhibits and their proof are two different legal concepts. Mere production and marking of a document as exhibit cannot be held to be due proof of its contents. Its execution has to be proved by admissible evidence i.e., by the evidence of those persons who can vouchsafe for the truth of the facts in issue.

Lic Of India vs R. Suresh on 14 March, 2008

32. This proposition was again re-stated by the Supreme Court in L.I.C. vs R am Pal Singh Bisen, (2010) 4 SCC 491, wherein it has been held that mere admission of a document in evidence does not amount to its proof; in other words, mere marking of exhibit on a document does not dispense with its proof which is required to be done in accordance with law. Under the law of evidence, it is necessary that contents of documents are required to be proved either by primary or by secondary evidence. At the most, admission of documents may amount to admission of contents but not its truth. Contents of the document cannot be proved by merely filing in a court. Such a document cannot be relied upon.
