Evidence Act, 1872–Sec. 3–Fact proved–When will be said ?–A fact is
said to be proved when after considering the matters before it, the Court either believes it to exist or considers it’s existence so probable that a prudent man ought, under the circumstances of the particular case, to act upon the supposition that it exists–If having regard to the facts and circumstances of a case, the reasonable probability is all one way, a Court must not lay down an impossible standard of proof and hold a fact as not proved.
