If for any valid reason it is not possible for the party to examine himself, with the permission of the Court a witness on behalf of such party could be examined and out of them the party can examine himself, further. It is also not necessary in law that always the party to the proceedings should examine himself. The requirement of law insists only that the party who puts forth his case should prove the material facts set up. It is also not necessary in law that always the party to the proceedings should examine himself. The requirement of law insists only that the party who puts forth his case should prove the material facts set up. A party without examining himself can as well establish his case if possible by examining the witnesses who are competent to testify. However, in cases where there is onus placed on the party to discharge and if the facts required to be deposed are necessarily to be testified by the party in person, in such situation, however, such a party runs the risk of facing adverse inference for non-examination. Otherwise, it is also open for the party to give evidence through the power of attorney and such evidence would be a valid substituted evidence of the plaintiff. 7- ysfdu bl laca/k esa blh izdkj ds ekeys esa ekuuh; jktLFkku mPp U;k;ky; us vius uohure fu.kZ; dSykkh cuke ekrknhu ¼1½] ij bl iwjs fo"k; dks foLrkj ls foosfpr fd;k gSA ftlesa ekuuh; jktLFkku mPp U;k;ky; }kjk jkeizlkn cuke gjhukjk;.k ¼2½] ds izdj.k] ij m}Zr gqvk gS rFkk vU; mPp U;k;ky;ksa ds fu.kZ;ksa ds lUnHkZ esa Hkh foLr`r foospu dh gS vkSj ;g fu"d"kZ fn;k fd%& ``Power of attorney is a competent witness and is entitled to appear as such.
