Not Every Plaintiff Must Prove Sale Agreement's Execution If Another Plaintiff Having Firsthand Knowledge Proves Execution : Supreme Court
Live LawThe Supreme Court observed that not every plaintiff must prove the execution of a sale agreement if another plaintiff with knowledge of the transaction proves the execution. The bench comprising Justice Vikram Nath and Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra stated that a plaintiff's absence should not be viewed adversely, as testimony from another plaintiff present can substantively support the claims of absent plaintiffs. The Court accepted the appellant's argument, dismissing the defendants' claim that a power of attorney holder cannot testify on matters within the principal's personal knowledge. The Court held that the power of attorney holder's presence at the agreement's execution provided sufficient proof, establishing the plaintiffs' case through credible witnesses with firsthand knowledge.
