what is the meaning of affidavit can anyone explain it
Answers
Explanation:
The term Affidavit refers to a sworn statement in written format made especially under an oath or affirmation before an authorised officer or Magistrate.
In other words, an Affidavit is a declaration of facts made in writing and sworn before a person having the authority to administer oath. All affidavits are verified statements and printed on Stamp papers of different denominations.
All affidavits need to be drawn up in the first person and should contain facts and not inferences. A person who makes an affidavit is called a Deponent or an Affiant. The person who has authority to attest a certificate may be a Magistrate who may in turn be either a Judicial or an Executive Magistrate, a Notary Public or a Commissioner of Oaths depending upon the affidavit which needs to be attested. Indians living abroad can swear affidavits before Consular officers posted in Indian missions.
