R.Nagalakshmi (Deceased) 1.K.Vijayalakshmi and 2 others M/S.Waraon and Sai Rams, ,N.Ramakrishnan vs Mr.Chinthamani (Deceased) 1.Mr.C.Kothandaraman and 2 others — A/1299/2026

Case Summary: A/1299/2026 Court Decision: The Madras High Court allowed both applications filed by the defendants in a will dispute case (T.O.S. No. 29 of 2016). The court authorized forensic examination of the disputed signature on a will dated 18.05.1992 and appointed an Advocate Commissioner to submit the original will and comparison documents to a Government Forensic Science Laboratory for handwriting expert analysis. Key Reasoning: Since the principal issue involves whether the will is genuine, and both parties raised signature authenticity questions during cross-examination, the court found expert handwriting comparison would assist effective adjudication. The respondents/plaintiffs did not object, and the court clarified the expert opinion would be merely evidentiary with its admissibility and weight to be determined at trial.
