*[90A.
Presumption as to electronic records five years old.-
Where any electronic record, purporting or proved to be five
years old, is produced from any custody which the Court in
the particular case considers proper, the Court may presume
that the digital signature which purports to be the digital
signature of any particular person was so affixed by him or
any person authorised by him in this behalf.
Explanation.-Electronic records are said to be in proper custody
if they are in the place in which, and under the care of the
person with whom, they naturally be; but no custody is improper
if it is proved to have had a legitimate origin, or the circumstances
of the particular case are such as to render such an origin
probable.
This Explanation applies also to section
81A.]
