Handwriting Expert Examination -- Photocopy of Disputed Document -- Original Required for Comparison
Evidence Act, 1872, S.45 -- Handwriting Expert Examination -- Photocopy of Disputed Document -- Forensic examination of signatures requires physical verification of line quality, pen pressure, ink flow and stroke formation, which are lost or distorted in mechanical reproduction. Expert examination conducted solely on a photocopy is speculative and cannot provide reliable evidentiary assistance, and admissions of a witness regarding signatures or terms cannot dispense with production of the original document.
