Velayudhan vs Velayudhan on 9 January, 2001
In the decision in Velayudhan (supra),
heavy reliance was placed on Devidas v. Mamooji
[20 NLR 7], wherein it was held in a case wherein the
R.S.A.No.729 of 2015 : 20 :
signature was admitted in a document and
contended that the signature was affixed on a blank
paper. In that particular case, it was held that even
if the admission of signature is there, it will not
create execution, since it was contended that the
signature was affixed on a blank paper. It depends
from case to case to note down in what all
circumstances such signatures amount to execution
or not.

K. Laxmanan vs Thekkayil Padmini & Ors on 3 December, 2008
31. Learned counsel for the respondent has
invited the attention of this Court to the decision in
Laxmanan K. v. Thekkayil Padmini and others [2009
(1) KLT 29 (SC)], wherein a case in which a Will and a
Gift deed were propounded by the contesting
defendant claiming properties covered by it, was
considered. In that case, it was through the written
statement, the said Will and Gift were propounded.
Through the evidence in the case, the execution was
denied by the adverse party, the plaintiff. In such
R.S.A.No.729 of 2015 : 23 :
case, the Apex Court held that execution of the gift
deed was also under challenge and the attesting
witness to the said deed of gift was also not
examined. In that particular case, the Will was also
not proved and further, the Gift was also not proved.
The identifying witness in one of the said documents
gave evidence that he had not signed as an
identifying witness in that document. Consequently,
both the said documents were disbelieved.
