Indian Evidence Act, 1872
82. Presumption as to document admissible in England without proof of seal or
signature
When any document is
produced before any Court, purporting to be a document which, by the law in
force for the time being in England or Ireland, would be admissible in proof of
any particular in any Court of justice in England or Ireland, without proof of
the seal or stamp or signature authenticating it, or of the judicial or
official character claimed by the person by whom it purports to be signed, the
Court shall presume that such seal, stamp or signature is genuine, and that the
person signing it held, at the time when he signed it, the judicial or official
character which he claims, and the document shall be admissible for the same
purpose for which it would be admissible in England or Ireland.
