dear seniors
there is a docusments (agreement) between some persons along with their signatures. zerox copies of that document are available. Originals not found or with the persons now differed they were surpressed. what is the way now to prove the case of execution of document / deed and to compare the signatures of the differed persons? whether it can be confirmed by any lab? can we send the recent signatures of those persons and the zerox copies of earlier document (in which they have signed) for comparision and verification and get it proved the age of execution of document and writings and genuiness of the zerox document?

Signatures on xerox copies are not forensically tested for genuinity. Original documents are required. If original documents are not available execution of document may be proved by clever and intelligent cross-examination.

The documents have to be proved by secondary evidence. If the docs.were registered, copies will be available with the registry or else you will have to proceed after giving notice u/s 66 of the Evidence Act to the other side.

If both parties relies on the same xexox copy of document and both admits that the original is lost, then there will not be any problem
