Section 108 states that when the question is whether a man is alive or dead, and it is proved that he has not been heard of for seven years by those who would naturally have heard of him, the burden of proving that he is alive is shifted to the person who affirms it.
धारा 108 कहती है कि जब प्रश्न यह है कि कोई व्यक्ति जीवित है या मृत, और यह साबित हो जाता है कि उसे सात वर्षों से नहीं सुना गया है, तो यह साबित करने का भार उस पर है जो यह कहता है कि वह जीवित है।
