Presumption for certified foreign judicial records permits acceptance of authenticity and accuracy when certification follows recognised local practice.

Section 86 permits a court to presume that a document presented as a certified copy of a judicial record from a country outside India is genuine and accurate. The presumption applies where the copy appears certified in a manner recognised as commonly used in that country for judicial-record copies. A Political Agent for a territory or place outside India is deemed to be a Central Government representative for this purpose.
