law of evidence is very clear: who so ever asserts must prove.
So in the given case also anyone stating any fact has himself to prove and who so ever denying any fact has also to prove such denial.

I agree with Raj makkad, and also i like to share is that, when ur fathers prilimnary subject matter in proving the banami property is failed in evidential stage, then the said deposed evidence is sufficent in the explination of arguments. hope ur advocate looks for any new suprme court case laws to qoute the rulings, which give good long strenght to ur case.
