Section 69 of BSA : Section 69: Admission of execution by party to attested document.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi and Suresh enter into a contract where Ravi agrees to sell his house to Suresh. The contract is a written document that requires attestation by law. Ravi signs the document in the presence of two witnesses, who also sign as attesting witnesses. Later, Suresh claims that Ravi did not execute the document properly. However, Ravi admits in court that he did sign the document in the presence of the witnesses. According to Section 69 of The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023, Ravi's admission of signing the document is sufficient proof of its execution against him, even though the document required attestation.

Example 2:

Priya takes a loan from a bank and signs a loan agreement that requires attestation. The agreement is signed by Priya and two witnesses. Later, Priya defaults on the loan, and the bank takes her to court. Priya argues that the loan agreement was not properly executed. However, during the court proceedings, Priya admits that she did sign the loan agreement in the presence of the witnesses. Under Section 69 of The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023, Priya's admission of signing the document is sufficient proof of its execution against her, even though the document required attestation.
