Such documents are send for forensic examianatin alongwith sample handwriting and sample signatures of suspect and of the person denying to have written it (for who the suspected is suspeted to have written) The suspect as a right to refuse the sample handwiritng as per Article 20 and when asked for the same before court, they refuse. Even in that case police is not prevented from siesing his admitted handwirting on the documents already written by him. [i.e. in case of Govt deptt or a company the registered, bills, leave application etc written by accused].
