While considering the provisions of S.107(1) Evidence Act the Court of Appeal in D.T.B. vs. Awanzigana Enterprises supra also had this to say:- “Moreover the opinions of handwriting experts are admissible to deciper words beneath obliterations erasures, or alterations, although it is for the court to determine what the words are. Experts may also give their opinions as to whether handwriting is natural or imitated, and whether it shows points of comparison but it is for the court to determine whether a particular piece of writing is to be assigned to a particular person, and documents may be submitted to the court assigned to a particular person, and documents may be submitted to the court for comparisons to be made. The weight to be attached to any expert evidence depends upon the skill of the expert.”
