Burden of proof is the duty of the party to present evidence to establish his

claim or defense as required by law. Burden of evidence is when a party


presents evidence to build a prima facie case in his favour or to overcome
evidence proven against him.
Burden of proof never shifts such as in a civil case, the burden of proof is
upon the plaintiff to prove what is upon the plaintiff to prove. What is alleged
in his complaint and upon the defendant to prove what is alleged in his
counterclaim or if he alleged affirmative defenses, while in a criminal case it
is upon the prosecution to prove the elements of a crime. Burden of evidence
shifts during the course of the trial which depends upon which party shall
present his evidence to overturn the other partys evidence.

taken as an adopted admission from Angaras diary.
