What was the witness and the judge's response? This is all elementary as you state, so I am sure those smart lawyers caught it and corrected the witness. What was response from the judge to a distorted text being submitted? Did the judge rebuke them? And how did it proceed/end?
And for the FD folks, the question would be:
" However, as always, other Fatimi texts refute the Qutbi claim, and establish the text of al-Hidāyah al-Āmirīyah as a true Fatimi work. Syedna Mohammed bin Taher RA and Syedna Idris Imaduddin RA reference al-Hidāyah al-Āmirīyah as the work[1] of Imam Amir AS.
What’s more, Taher Fakhruddin’s sister, Bazat Saifiyah Qutbuddin in her M.A Thesis paper extensively references it as Imam Amir’s AS work.[2] Further, Husain Qutbuddin in one of his initial Q&A sessions mentions al-Hidāyah al-Āmirīyah as Imam Amir’s AS work, in great detail.[3]"
Is the above stated accurate? Please clarify your position. Thanks.
The Professor didn't state that the book claims this. He questioned the validity of the book in general. There's no need to respond. That was his own position. That's what he was hired for. To dismiss the book that challenges their changing nass position.

Saif53,
Come on, I don't buy that. If the professor questioned the validity of the book in general, why would the SMS lawyer not point out that the book has been quoted by many Dai(s) (let alone children of SKQ). That it has been quoted by many Dai(s), that alone definitely makes the book valid. This argument (that nass once conferred can be changed) which the lawyer is so intently trying to prove, are you telling me the lawyer said: "No need to respond, that is his position", and he let it go. Give me a break. The lawyer would fight tooth and nail for what appears to be critical to his case - and based on the Udaipur Times article, he appears to be, by repeatedly coming back to that issue.
