Check answer and explanation
Answer: May presume
Explanation As per Article 129 QSO 1984, the Court has discretionary power. It allows the Court to infer facts based on natural events and human conduct. The wording used is “may presume”, indicating discretion, not compulsion. “Shall presume” and “conclusive proof” have stronger legal effects. Last updated by NS on 16-April-2026
