EVIDENCE ENACTMENT OF THE SYARIAH COURT 1991

PART III - PRODUCTION AND EFFECT OF EVIDENCE
CHAPTER 8 - EXAMINATION OF WITNESSES



Section 115. Production of documents and their translation.

(1) A witness summoned to produce a document shall, if it is in his possession of power, bring it to court notwithstanding any objection which there may be to its production or to its admissibility. The validity of any such objection shall be decided on by the court.

(2) The Court, if it sees fit, may inspect the document unless it refers to affairs of State, or take other evidence to enable it to determine on its admissibility.

(3) If for such a purpose it is necessary to cause any document to be translated, the court may, if it thinks fit, direct the translator to keep the contents secret unless the document is to be given in evidence, and if the translator disobeys the direction, he shall be held to have Enactment committed an offence under section 164 of the Syariah Criminal Procedure Enactment 1983 [Enactment No. 9/83].
