Dear Sir,
I just want to chaeck it
in case of any legal doc i.e. affidavit & power of attorney, witness is requuired to affix their signature with their name only,
or they should mention their address with father name.
Is their any ruling or act in this regard.
Best Regards
Sunil

Not all documents require witness/attestation, unless statute mandates so. Ordinarily full name and address of such witnesses should be mentioned beneath their signature to identify and locate them in future. However, I do not recall any judgment on this point
