Facts admitted need not be proved
AI Assist
Summary
Facts that the parties or their agents admit at the hearing, admit beforehand in a written document signed by them, or are deemed admitted by the rules of pleading do not need separate proof in the proceeding. The court, however, may in its discretion require those admitted facts to be proved by other evidence.
Example
Priya sues Arjun for unpaid goods. Before the hearing both sign a written admission that Arjun received the goods, so the court need not call further proof of receipt unless it decides to require other evidence.
Bare Act
Enacted textNo fact need to be proved in any proceeding which the parties thereto or their agents agree to admit at the hearing, or which, before the hearing, they agree to admit by any writing under their hands, or which by any rule of pleading in force at the time they are deemed to have admitted by their pleadings;
Provided that the court may, in its discretion, require the facts admitted to be proved otherwise than by such admission.
