Official textFrom Attorney General's Chambers, unchanged
In any inqury. trial or other proceedings under this Code, a previous conviction or acquittal may be proved in addition to any other manner provided by any law for the time being in force -
by an extract of the sentence or order certified under the hand of the officer having the custody of the record of the Syariah
Court in which such conviction or acquittal was determined; or
in case of a conviction. either by a certificate signed by the officer in charge of the prison in which the punishment or any part thereof has been inflicted, or by the production of the warrant of commitment under which the punishment has been conducted, together with, in each of such cases, evidence as to the identity of the accused person with the person so convicted or acquitted.
In case the officer in charge of any prison states in any certificate signed by him that the finger prints which appear on such certificate are the finger prints of the person to whom the certificate relates, such certificate shall be evidence of the fact so stated.
Every Syariah Court shall presume to be genuine every document purporting to be a certificate of conviction and purporting to be signed by the officer in charge of any prison. and shall also presume that the officer by whom such document purports to be signed was when he signed the document, the officer in charge of the prison mentioned in such document.
