Burden of Proof and Good Faith - Courts scrutinize claims of incapacity or inability to comply, often ruling that such defenses are false or intended to deceive the court. Parties are expected to act in good faith when giving undertakings Uttam Hundrajmal Awatramani & another VS Jayant Dattatraya Bhalerao & another - Bombay, Rulda Ram VS State of Himachal Pradesh - Himachal Pradesh.
