قانونِ شہادت 1984 کے آرٹیکل 77 کے تحت ثانوی شہادت اُس وقت تک پیش نہیں کی جا سکتی جب تک وہ فریق جس کے پاس اصل دستاویز موجود ہے یا اُس کے اٹارنی کو پہلے سے نوٹس نہ دیا گیا ہو۔ لیکن کچھ حالات میں نوٹس دینے کی ضرورت نہیں ہوتی، جیسے:

1. جب ثابت کرنے والی دستاویز خود ایک نوٹس ہو؛

2. جب معاملے کی نوعیت سے ظاہر ہو کہ مخالف فریق کو معلوم ہونا چاہیے کہ اسے یہ دستاویز پیش کرنی ہو گی؛

3. جب ثابت ہو جائے کہ مخالف فریق نے اصل دستاویز دھوکہ یا زبردستی سے حاصل کی ہے؛

4. جب مخالف فریق یا اُس کا نمائندہ اصل دستاویز عدالت میں لے آئے؛

5. جب مخالف فریق یا اُس کے نمائندے نے دستاویز کے ضائع ہونے کا اقرار کیا ہو؛

6. جب دستاویز کا حامل شخص عدالت کے دائرہ اختیار سے باہر ہو۔

2024 CLC 707: اس فیصلے کے تحت، آرٹیکل 77 کے مطابق ثانوی شہادت اس وقت تک پیش نہیں کی جا سکتی جب تک کہ اس فریق یا اس کے اٹارنی کو نوٹس نہ دیا جائے جس کے پاس دستاویز موجود ہے، البتہ اس کی ضرورت نہیں ہوتی اگر ثابت کرنے والی دستاویز خود ایک نوٹس ہو۔ [پشاور]
