Section 399A

Where in any criminal proceeding it is necessary to decide whether a currency note or coin is or is not forged, a certificate signed by the Governor of the Central Bank or any officer authorized in writing by him in that behalf that he is satisfied by personal examination that the note or coin is or is not forged, shall be sufficient evidence that the note or coin is or is not forged, as the case may be, and neither the Governor nor any officer of the Bank shall be cross-examined with regard to the contents of the certificate unless the Court otherwise orders.

*NOTE—Medical Officers of the Armed Forces to be regarded as Government Medical Officers, for the purpose of inquiries into deaths and evidence under the Criminal Procedure Code—see L.N. 198/1952.
