Not proved
Not proved, a fact is said not to be proved when it is neither proved nor disproved, (Evidence Act, 1872, s. 3)--there is difference between 'not proved' and 'false'. Merely not able to prove cannot be in all cases categorised as false, Abdul Rashid Khan v. P.A.K.A. Shahul Hamid, (2000) 10 SCC 636 (641). [Evidence Act, 1872, s. 3]...
Proved
Proved, there is no difference between the general rules of evidence in civil and criminal cases, and the definition of 'proved' in s. 3 of the Evidence Act does not draw a distinction between civil and criminal cases. Nor does this definition insist on perfect proof because absolute certainty amounting to demonstration is rarely to be had in the affairs of life. Nevertheless, the standard of measuring proof prescribed by the definition, is that of a person of prudence and practical good sense. 'Proof' means the effect of the evidence adduced in the case, Ch. Razik Ram v. Ch. Jaswant Singh Chouhan, AIR 1975 SC 667: (1975) 4 SCC 769.(ii) S. 3 of the Evidence Act, a fact is said to be 'proved' when, after considering the matters before it, the court either believes it to exist, or considers its existence so probable than a prudent man ought, under the circumstances of the particular case, to act upon the supposition that it exists. This definition of 'proved' does not draw any distinctio...

Unless and until the contrary is proved
Unless and until the contrary is proved, significance and effect of presumption under parties in contract themselves providing a sum to be paid by the party breaking the contract-Whether this provision removes the presumption under-Whether after removal of his presumption bar under s. 21 oper-ates. (ii) The fact that the parties themselves have provided a sum to be paid by the party breaking the contract does not, by itself, remove the strong presumption contemplated by the use of the words 'unless and until the contrary is proved'. The sufficiency or insufficiency of any evidence to remove such a presumption is a matter of evidence, M.L. Devender Singh v. Syed Khaja, AIR 1973 SC 2457: (1973) 2 SCC 515: (1974) 1 SCR 312....
Unless the contrary is proved
Unless the contrary is proved, the words 'unless the contrary is proved' mean that the presumption raised by s. 4 has to be rebutted by proof and not by bare explanation which may be merely plausible. The required proof need not be such as is expected for sustaining a criminal conviction: it need only establish a high degree of probability, State of Assam v. Krishna Rao, AIR 1973 SC 28 (37): (1973) 3 SCC 227: (1973) 2 SCR 239. [Prevention of Corruption Act (2 of 1947), s. 4]...
Proved to the satisfaction of the court
Proved to the satisfaction of the court, are com-prehensive enough and indeed seem to have been intended to empower the court to go into the merits of the allegations set by the party denying or disagreeing with the terms of compromise or agreement, and decide them so that the parties get full justice in the suit in which a decree in terms of the compromise is to be passed. Where the court finds during the course of the inquiry that the alleged agreement or compromise is vitiated by fraud, misrepresentation, etc., it cannot be said legally that an agreement has been arrived at. The agreement contemplated envisages the two parties coming to certain terms voluntarily and of a free will so as to put an end to the litigation pending between them in the court, C.K. Chandrahas Shetty v. Jayaram Sasani, AIR 1970 Mys 209....
