Issued by Ministry of Investment (misa.gov.sa)

1. A claimant of forgery shall deliver to the court the alleged forged document if it is in his possession or a copy thereof. If he refuses to deliver the original document or the copy, as the case may be, his claim of forgery shall be forfeited and may not be accepted thereafter. 2. If the document is in the possession of the adverse litigant, the court may order him to deliver such document to the court or order the document to be seized and deposited therewith. If the adverse litigant refuses to deliver the document and the court is unable to seize it, said document shall be deemed non-existent. This shall not preclude the court from seizing the document in the future, if feasible.
