The expert in this field shall describe better how to detect age of paper or ink used thereon and so far as his PF/DM/DA/TA etc. is concerned, it is decided by concerned court keeping in view the length of traveling, the time to be spent by such witness, the documents to be examined etc.

There is no scientific method devised so far to detect the age of the ink.

Recently High Court of Madras has held in Jagadeesan vs Ayyasamy 2010 (1) CTC 424 as follows;

Evidence act - sec.45 - Non availability of scientific method - Sending documents for opinion in respect of age of writing is only futile - Direction not to send documents henceforth unless new methods are invented to find out age of writings was issued.
