Annexures are not evidence; appellant failed to prove ownership, withdrawal, or delivery of the alleged entrusted funds.
Civil procedure – annexures to pleadings are not evidence; documents must be tendered and admitted as exhibits before reliance. Evidence – burden of proof in civil cases (s.110, s.112 Evidence Act) requires proof of ownership, deposit, withdrawal and delivery of funds. Trusts – establishing a trust requires proof of ownership and transfer; mere assertion without documentary support is insufficient. Credibility – assessment of witnesses must be based on evidence, not mere matrimonial relations.
