a party has forged an agreement, done my forge signature and claiming abt 50 lakhs from me by filing a suit,
the party claims to rely only on photo copy of the agreement and claims to have given the original to us,this agreement pertains of the year 2011,the nototry of the agreement has died in the year 2012,
my beleif is that he has done all this after his death, Wife of the notory is not cooperating to share the copy of the register,
the party claims that the original is not tracable,
we have taken a report from the handwriting expert(private) and submitting it in the court for directions to take appropratie proceedings,
my question is that "is mere xerox copy is sufficient for him to claim"
