Any person who knowingly utters as and for a subsisting and effectual document any document or electronic record which has by any lawful authority been ordered to be revoked, cancelled or suspended, or the operation

of any other event, is guilty
of an offence
of the
same kind, and is liable to the
same punishment, as if he had forged the document.
