Proof of Signature – the signatory must be called to depose
21. In the case of Madholal Sindhu vs. Asian Assurance Co. Ltd., AIR 1954 Bombay 305, it has been observed as follows:
.... the contents of a document could
not be proved by proving the handwriting or the signature on a document, if the witness had no personal knowledge about the contents of the document.
Hence, it is futile to prove the signature without calling the signatory to depose.
