Document presumption rules allow contents, signatures, and execution to be presumed, with unstamped documents still admissible if otherwise valid. Presumption as to documents applies where a document is produced by a person, seized from that person's custody or control, or received from outside India in proceedings under the Act or any other law. When tendered by the prosecution against that person or a jointly tried person, the court must presume, unless the contrary is proved, the truth of its contents and the authenticity of signatures, handwriting, execution, or attestation. An otherwise admissible document may also be admitted in evidence notwithstanding that it is not duly stamped.
