S 399A REPORT OF CENTRAL BANK ON CURRENCY NOTE OR COIN

Where in any criminal proceeding it is necessary to decide whether a currency note is or is not forged, a certificate signed  by the Governor of the Central Bank  or any Officer authorised in writing by him in that behalf that he is satisfied  by personal examination that such note or coin is or is not forged  shall be sufficient evidence that such 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 such certificate unless the Court orders otherwise.

In matters of counterfeit currency, a certificate from the Central Bank stating that the currency is or is not fake is conclusive proof  -- not of any other expert. Dont make a fool of yourself by bringing a money changer from India to the court.
