The process of oral and documentary evidence was applicable on\r\ncivil and criminal trials with a contemplation that the civil suit is to be\r\nproved either in the wake of recorded admissions of the parties or the\r\ndocumentary evidence produced thereunder. Again on that document, series of the\r\nprovisions from the Evidence Act were invoked to prove the legality and\r\nauthenticity of the document. More so, a credibility of the witness was also\r\nheld to be the essential element being a pre-requisite to prove the document in\r\naffirmation from its authenticity. As against that the process of evidence in a\r\ncriminal case was distinguishable being without reference of any document. In\r\ncriminal cases a previous conduct was found relevant both for the witness as\r\nwell as accused; whereas, in civil suits character to prove conduct imputed was\r\nheld irrelevant. Number of the citations and authorities of the superior Courts\r\nare holding the field inter alia believing the credibility of witness in a\r\ncriminal case and documentary reference in a civil suit.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp class=MsoNormal style=\u0027margin-bottom:12.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-pagination:\r\nnone;mso-layout-grid-align:none;text-autospace:none\u0027\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0027mso-tab-count:\r\n1\u0027\u003e            \u003c/span\u003eA judicial system relying upon oral and documentary\r\nevidence works in old dimension; whereby a proof lacks and does not focus on\r\nthe target.
