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'.

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.

This definition of 'proved' does not draw any distinctio...

Self appraisal
Self appraisal, the method of performance appraisal is based on the self-appraisal by the officer concerned. It is a method where the employee is asked to give, in his own words, his strong points, weak points and constraints faced by him in the service.

Finally the higher reviewing authority decides the assessment by weighting both the employee's self-appraisal and the remarks given by the reporting officer, A.P. State Financial Corpn. v. C.M. Ashok Raju, AIR 1995 SC 39 (41): (1994) 5 SCC 359....
