Section 71 of the Evidence Act - It provides for proof of the execution of documents when attesting witnesses deny or cannot recall the execution. Specifically, it allows the court to consider other evidence to establish the execution of a document if attesting witnesses are unavailable or deny attestation. This section acts as a safeguard to ensure documents can still be proved even when direct attesting witness testimony is lacking or unreliable. VASANTHI RAJAN
