The period of 30 years as contemplated u/Sec. 92 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 to be computed from the date of execution of the document up to the time
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Under section 92 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly section 90 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), the thirty years are counted from the date of the document up to the date on which it is tendered in evidence, not the date the suit is filed or the document is merely produced. If the document is then thirty years old and comes from proper custody, the court may presume its signature, handwriting, execution and attestation. Hence "When the document is tendered in evidence in any proceedings." Section 93 separately provides a five-year presumption for electronic records.
