#thumb impression

Punjab & Haryana HC rules that a party alleging fraud in a thumb-impressed loan document must provide concrete evidence, not just bare assertions. The court upheld the recovery decree, emphasizing that failure to respond to legal notices or prove forgery shifts the burden away from the lender.

Madhya Pradesh High Court clarifies that plaintiff must prove thumb impression under Section 67 of Evidence Act and establish readiness for specific performance; negative burden on defendant is illegal.
