Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Under Section 92 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (formerly Section 90 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872), where any document purporting or proved to be thirty years old is produced from proper custody, the Court may presume the genuineness of the signature and every other part in handwriting, as well as due execution and attestation. However, the presumption does not extend to the truth of its "Contents", which must be proved independently.
