The Supreme Court classified presumptions into three types: (1) May presume (discretionary/rebuttable), (2) Shall presume (mandatory/rebuttable), and (3) Conclusive presumption (irrebuttable/cannot be challenged). This classification comes from the Evidence Act framework under Sections 4, 79-90, 113-114.
