Producing court evidence and effects of the outcome

For one of the family case, i need to prove a person is to be a christian. From some of my friends i know a particular person is a christian. To prove that, i am being advised by few of my friends to pay the applicable fee at the court and invite the church priest to provide the list of christian under the church + details. When he the priest appears at the court either 1) he can provide the list where the suspect is available as a christian with completion of all their religious formalities 2) priest can hide the info and save his person 3) the person is not listed in their books as a real case.

In such cases of 2 and 3, what will be my situation at the case? Judge will consider this as a negative point against me that i failed to prove something. Or judge will consider the reality that i tried to prove some point but unfortunately it didnt pass through hence it will be just ignored?

Can you please clarify the impacts / effects of such case?

Also, explain how i can prove a christian in the court as a christian? what are the formalities i should follow with or without the help of my lawyer?

There are separate identity public records that can not be challenged to show the religion. Once it is recorded in public document, it is more than a documentary evidence. Focus on those documents where one has to disclose the religion.

First visit the church and find out whether his (her) name is borne in the register. After satisfying that, move an application for summoning the father or any competent person along with that particular register to present as witness. That will solve your problem.
