The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), 2023 (formerly the Indian Evidence Act, 1872) provides for the following types of presumptions:
- Presumption of Fact: These are discretionary and based on common sense or experience, e.g., possession of stolen property under certain circumstances indicates theft.
- Presumption of Law: These may be either rebuttable or irrebuttable and are provided by specific provisions, e.g., presumption of marriage under certain conditions.
- Irrebuttable Presumption: These are conclusive presumptions, where no evidence can be given to disprove the presumption, e.g., legitimacy of a child born during a valid marriage (Section 116 of BSA).
