There are also other legal presumption that are addressed in the present study. In order to establish the truth of a case in a case, the judge is required to follow the law provided by the legislature. But the credibility of the judicial presumption depends on the opinion of the judge.

The cases of the Judicial presumption can not be counted and confined in any way, but the most important examples are expertise, research and examination of the place, fingerprinting, etc. The judicial presumption should only be cited in proving the rights of the people; Because in the right of God, the principle is to cover.

In line with the above-mentioned challenge, new and practical solutions for resolving conflicts have been presented, the effect of which is to provide the means for issuing a fair verdict and discovering the clear and obvious truth.
