Respected Members,
In high court, is it necessary to get signed and sealed the documents annexed to it by the Oath Commissioner?
Some documents are true copy and others are photocopy.
Dear Querist,
Before forwarding the documents further, oath commissioners are required to initially ensure, about its authenticity and when they feel contented with the documents and information provided to them, they may certify them by signing.
In Salazar Luis Anthony Marques ... vs Mohd. Haroon Japanwala & Ors. on 1 October, 2014 it was stated by the court that An Oath Commissioner‟s attestation is a validation of the affidavit. Without the attestation of the Oath Commissioner, Courts cannot rely on the document for it lacks the required sanction affirming its authenticity.
Regards,
Palak
