Non-PRO (1): Asghar Bhatti

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

circumstantial evidence= That proves a fact by means of an inference. For example, from the evidence that a person was seen running away from the scene of a crime, a judge or jury may infer that the person committed the crime.

the physical evidence(direct evidence) might include DNA left by the attacker on the victim's body, the body itself, the weapon used, pieces of carpet spattered with blood, or casts of footprints or tire prints found at the scene of the crime.

Circumstantial evidence is also known as indirect evidence. It is distinguished from direct evidence, which, if believed, proves the existence of a particular fact without any inference or presumption required. Circumstantial evidence relates to a series of facts other than the particular fact sought to be proved.

Physical evidence: a weapon, finger prints, a recorded audio or video, an eye witness, a document or any thing which is directly related with the event or crime and which is always presentable physically.

Circumstantial evidence: Any thing which is considered and concluded as potential evidence by its possible relation with the event, it is always assumed clue by clue, but it does exist in physical form but as speculation.

Therefore, Circumstantial evidence can not be WakeyaAti Shahadat [واقعاتی شہادت] because the word WakeyaAti [which means: related to the event] regardless physical or circumstantial, this word denote everything of the event.

Whereas, the suggested word Qiyasi Saboot [قیاسی ثبوت] was referred as ‘assumed evidence’, as Circumstantial Evidence is indirect and always based on assumptions or conclusions.
