Section 65 of BSA : Section 65: Proof of signature and handwriting of person alleged to have signed or written document produced.

Explanation using Example

Example 1:

Ravi is accused of forging a signature on a property sale agreement. The prosecution presents the document in court, claiming that Ravi signed it. According to Section 65 of The Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023, the prosecution must prove that the signature on the document is indeed Ravi's. They might call a handwriting expert to compare the signature on the document with other known samples of Ravi's signature. If the expert confirms that the signatures match, the court can accept the document as evidence against Ravi.

Example 2:

Priya receives a handwritten letter threatening her with harm if she does not pay a certain amount of money. She suspects that the letter was written by her former business partner, Amit. To prove this in court, Priya must show that the handwriting in the letter matches Amit's handwriting. She can present other documents written by Amit, such as business contracts or personal notes, and call a handwriting expert to testify that the handwriting in the threatening letter is the same as Amit's. If the expert's testimony is convincing, the court can accept the letter as evidence that Amit wrote it.
