Discuss with your lawyer, approach appellate authority against the orders of trial court.

In the direct, oral evidence, the witness declined having signed the Will, nor present when it was executed, and that the signature of him was a forged one.

A witness to a Will is a crucial element in proving not only the signature but also many factors relating to the execution of the Will.

Even if the paintiff proves that it is the signature of the witness that is not enough to prove the Will and get a favourable order.

Above all, expert evidence is a weaker form of evidence than the direct, oral evidence.

So the chance of getting any favourable judgement for the plaintiff is very bleak, even if the court allows expert evidence in the revision petition.

You should take a chance and try for orders from higher court.

Whether there was another witness to the will, what was the gist of his witness?
