23. In Ramchandra Rambux's case (AIR 1965 SC 354) (supra), the will was inscribed on a flimsy paper. The language used was high-flown Urdu. Jt was alleged that the body of the will had been dictated by the testator in that language, but the will did not contain the signature of the testator in that language, namely, in Urdu, but in Modi script. It was also found that as the body of the will proceeded further down, more and more words seemed to be crammed in each line and the spacing between two lines tended to decrease, even though there appeared to have been plenty of room for the signature of the testator to be scribed lower down on the paper. It was in these circumstances that the conclusion was arrived at that the signature of the testator was already there before the will was scribed.
