Right to be presumed innocent You have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty (Union of Burma v. U Aye Kyi, 1964 BLR 396; UDHR, Art. 11(1)). The burden of proof is on the prosecution, not on you (Evidence Act, Arts. 101-104). The benefit of doubt is on you (Daw Tin Oo and U Aye Phe (3) v Union, 1966 BLR 129). The standard of “proof” is defined (Evidence Act, Art. 3). If you give an explanation which may reasonably be true, even though it is not believed by the Court, you are entitled to an acquittal (M. Muthiah Servai v. Union, 1955 BLR (HC) 175).
