Denying signature and writing on oath

Get the letters admitted. Burden of proof is on defendant to show letter is not written by him.

Documentary evidence is stronger than oral evidence. You can ask defedant to submit handwriting samples and have them verified by court.

This type of perjury is normal (unfortunately) in our system. The system is weak and litigants resort to such tactics. Good luck.

File application u/sec 45 of Evidence Act  in court and seek permission to get examine/verification  of writings/signatures on letters by handwriting expert.

Thank you for your quick response ... the letters have been admitted as exhibits ... but my question is whether I should file application under sec 45 to get his signatures verified or should I leave it to the wisdom of the court to see the obvious lie as he has admitted that he was in the area from where the post card has been sent. My lawyer feels the judge will take a view and we should not do anything to delay but I feel filing application under sec 45 can force the judge's hand even if he is inclined to take an indifferent and casual view about the lie.

Thank you for your prompt reply. The letters are admitted as exhibits already. Question is whether I should push for sec 45 or let the judge take a call on this...

Once the letters purported to be used as evidence has been admitted and marked as exhibits, mere denial of signature may not be accepted but the contents and authenticity of the letter have  to be strongly argued by your lawyer in the court.  I think a petition u/s 45 of Indian Evidence at may not be fruitful.

Thank you for your advice

You should file application u/s 45 of  Indian Evidence act. taking consultation with your lawyer
