Evidence filing in Regular Civil Suit - Hearing without WS stage


23-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
Hello. In the regular civil suit case, currently the stage is Hearing without WS. My lawyer wants to file the evidences of the case in court however he wants all originals. My question is how safe is it for me to give all original property documents to the lawery/court. Can the certified true copies not work. If those documents are lost or misappropriated by mistake then it will be a huge issue for me. Kindly advise if there is a way certified true copies of property documents can be given to the court. Thanks and Regards,

You should not handover original Property Documents at all, as it is not mandated by the Law. To attach Evidences as Exhibits, you can use Certified Copies of those Documents. Certified Copies are legally valid.

Hearing without w.s is a 'hearing without written statement' that the other party files to defend themselves against the accusations made. The decision will be in your favor only if you can prove that the other party did not have a valid reason for failing to file a written statement.
