Burden of proof

Burden of proof [onus probandi, Lat.]. the most prominent canon of evidence is, that the point in issue is to be proved by the party who asserts the affirmative, according to the civil law maxims, Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, nonqui negat; Actori incumbit onus probandi; and Affirmanti non neganti incumbit probatio. The burden of proof lies on the person who has to support his case by proof of a fact which is peculiarly within his own knowledge, or of which he is supposed to be cognizant. See Best on Evidence, Bk. III., Pt. 1, ch. 2.The expression 'burden of proof' really means two different things. It means sometimes that a party is required to prove an allegation before judgment can be given in its favour; it also means that on a contested issue one of the two contending parties has to introduce evidence, Narayan Bhagwantrao Gosavi v. Gopal Vinayak Gosavi, AIR 1960 SC 100: (1960) 1 SCR 773: (1960) SCJ 263.The phrase 'burden of proof' has not been defined in the Indian Evidence Act....

Or

Or, construed as 'and'. The courts may construe 'or' as 'and' if they find from the context that the wrong word must have been used, Morgan v. Thomas, (1882) 9 QBD 643 (645), per Jessel (MR).Or, in the sentence any 'any person concerned in any such offence shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding three times the value of the goods or not exceeding 1000 rupees.' It is clear that if the words form an affirmative sentence, then the condition of one of the clauses only need be fulfilled. In such a case 'or' really means 'either' 'or'. In the Shorter Oxford Dictionary one of the meanings of the word 'or' is given as 'A participle co-ordinating two (or more) words, phrases or clauses between which there is an alternative.' It is also there stated, 'The alternative expressed by 'or' is emphasised by prefixing to the first member or adding after the last, the associated adv. EITHER.' So, even without 'either', 'or' alone creates an alternative. If, however, the sentence is a negative one, th...


Uses

Uses (History). A use is the intention or purpose, express or implied, upon which property is to be held. The Common Law treated the actual possessor for all purposes as the owner of the property. It was not difficult to find him out, since the possession of his estate was conferred upon him by a formal and notorious ceremony, technically called livery of seisin, which was performed openly and in the presence of the people of the locality.It soon became evident that the simple rules of the Common Law were stumbling-blocks to the complicated wants of an enterprising people.Hence ingenuity was sharpened to hit upon a device which should set at nought the rigidity of existing law and formalities.A system was found by the monastic jurists upon a model furnished by the Civil Law, which, by a nice adaptation, evaded, without overturning, the Common Law. Two methods of transferring realty began to co-exist in this country-the ancient Common Law system, and the later invention, which is denomi...
