FORGERY BY PHOTOCOPY SUSTAINABLE ??

my question is:

(a) can signatures in a photostat be proved as forged by expert analysis

(a1) Can expert deliver opinion exclusively on photostat without having the original at all or in a situation that orginal does not exist at all

(b) even if the signature is proved to be false on a photostat document can the expert hold his ground if the original document containing forged signatures was not made available to him during his analysis.

(c) assuming i am facing a department enquiry in the above case in which i have submitted a photostat document in which i had forged signatures of somebody. what defence can be i produce to defend myself before the enquiry committee when confronted with the expert opinion

(d) what is the legal position in court for the above query

Ans:

a) yes signatures in a photostat can be analysed. and photocopy can be a subject matter of counterfieting.

a1) Expert can give opinion on such photostate document.

b) No need of original document for expert opinion becaurse in your case the forgery is done with itself photocpy.

c)--------- why did you submit such document knowing it is forged one.
