If the documents happen to be the public document then it can be proved by the methods as mentioned in Sec 74 and 75. Mere denial by the public servant is not sufficient to invalidate it.

1. Court comparison could establish his signature.

2. Expert opinion could establish his signature

3. Cross-examining advocate with his skill could bring about the witness to accept that it is his signature.

A public document would not easily be invalidated by merely denying one's signature to his advantage.
