It is said that courts give decisions in favour of the litigants who succeed in proving their evidence beyond any doubt,but many a times both sided evidence show some doubt and in such cases (and such cases are very many) court give decision in whose favour ????

The Evidence and proved claim- according to the Rule of Burden of Proof- Judgment will be on the basis of the evidence better than other side Evidence - Evidence- it defers from case to case and according to the circumstance of the case.

the exact expression is Beyond Reasonable Doubt.
and this principle is applied in criminal cases only.
study few cases and find out the actual thought behind this.

The degree of proof is different for civil and criminal cases. It is preponderance of probability in the case of civil dispute whereas it is proof beyond reasonable doubt in the case of criminal jurisprudence.

I agree with Mr.Rao. The benefit of doubt principle cannot be applied in civil cases.The standard of proof in criminal cases and civil cases are totally different.
