one attesting witness of the sale deed to prove its due execution. On the contrary, one of the vendees has appeared as witness and he was also competent to prove the sale deed being party to it. In addition to it, proviso to Section 68 of the Evidence Act lays down that it shall not be necessary to call an attesting witness in proof of the execution of any document, not being a Will, which has been registered in accordance with provision of Indian Registration Act, 1908, unless its execution by the person, by whom it purports to have been executed, is specifically denied. In the instant case, sale deed Ex.P-2 is registered sale deed and its execution by its executants i.e. vendors has not been denied. Consequently, for this added reason as well, it was not necessary to call an attesting witness to prove execution of the sale deed. Moreover, entries appeared in revenue record in favour of the plaintiffs pursuant to the sale deed and it would also point to authenticity of the sale deed. Thus, from the documentary evidence, it is clear that plaintiffs are owners of suit land comprised of khasra no.211.
