Indian Law in Common Law. Islamic Law is religion guideline/law.
Under both area, witness or document need to produce in other to seek justice. No proof..no justice.

Islamic "law" has no official force in India. The secular courts may overrule or ignore the rulings of the Sharia "courts," and the official laws in India are supreme in every case.
