A Witness Affidavit is a crucial legal document used across various proceedings in India, from court cases to administrative matters. This sworn statement is executed under the provisions of the Indian Oaths Act, 1969, and must be attested by authorized officials such as Notaries Public or Oath Commissioners. The document is employed when formal testimony or declaration is required to support facts in legal proceedings, administrative matters, or official investigations. A Witness Affidavit typically contains the deponent's personal details, their relationship to the matter, and their testimony presented in a structured format with proper verification. It carries significant legal weight and can be used as evidence in courts, making false statements within it punishable under the Indian Penal Code.
