State (Delhi Administration) vs Pali Ram on 26 September, 1978
In State (Delhi Administration) v. Pali Ram, AIR 1979 SC 14, it was observed by the Apex Court that although there is no legal bar to the Judge using his own eyes to compare the disputed writing with the admitted writing, even without the aid of the evidence of any handwriting expert, the Judge should, as a matter of prudence and caution hesitate to base its findings with regard to the identity of handwriting which forms the shectanchor of the prosecution case against a person accused of an offence, solely on comparison made by himself. It is, therefore, not advisable that a Judge should lake upon himself the task of comparing the admitted writing with the disputed one to find out whether the two agree with each other; and the prudent course is to
obtain the opinion and assistance of an expert. .
