Issues
- Whether the opinion of the handwriting expert is the only way or mode of proving the signature and handwriting of a person?
- Whether the order of cognizance for offence under Section 467 and 471 of IPC can be quashed only on the ground that the opinion of the handwriting expert was not conclusive?
Held
- The order of the High Court was set aside with the liberty to accused to raise all questions and contentions before the Trial Court.
- The signatures and handwriting of the person can also be proved under Sections 45, 47 and 73 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. Therefore, opinion of the handwriting expert is not the only way or mode of proving the signature and handwriting of a person.
