Some words added in a hand written document’s blank space/column by the writer himself after two years. It may be possible that he use the same pen and ink. Witnesses are verifying that words are original and written at the time when whole document was written and in their presence. My question is -
1- Is it detectable by handwriting expert or forensic lab and can be prove as fraud?
2- If words/entries proved as added and fraud then what will be the status of whole document and other/original facts/contents mentioned in the document.
3- In this case writer and witnesses can be punish or not.
