Bare Acts › Indian Evidence Act, 1872

Section 88

This Act has been repealed — see The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 (from 2024-07-01). The prior text continues to govern matters arising before that date.

Presumption as to telegraphic messages.--

The Evidence Act 1872 was replaced by the BSA 2023 (in force 2024-07-01); no verified section mapping on file for Section 88 — confirm the corresponding provision (savings: Section 170, BSA 2023).

The Court may presume that a message, forwarded from a telegraph office to the person to whom such message purports to be addressed, corresponds with a message delivered for transmission at the office from which the message purports to be sent; but the Court shall not make any presumption as to the person by whom such message was delivered for transmission.
