Ram Avatar Soni vs Mahanta Laxidhar Das And Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of the genuineness of a Will executed by Mahanta Natabar Das, which was probated in favor of Laxmidhar Mahapatra. The Court held that the appellant's request under Order XXVI Rule 10A CPC to send the Will for handwriting analysis was valid, emphasizing the importance of verifying the authenticity of the document in question. The Court overturned the High Court's decision that had set aside the District Judge's order allowing the handwriting expert's examination, thereby reinstating the order for expert comparison.
