Rebuttable presumption applies to specified offences when accused persons are present during armed attacks in disturbed areas.

Section 111A creates a rebuttable presumption for specified offences when an accused is shown to have been present at a place in a disturbed area, or an area affected by extensive public-peace disturbance, from which firearms or explosives were used against armed forces or public-order forces performing their duties. The presumption applies to the listed Indian Penal Code offences and certain conspiracy, attempt and abetment offences, unless the contrary is established.
