The Supreme Court ruled that convictions cannot be based solely on handwriting expert opinions without substantial corroboration from other evidence. In a case where a man was convicted of abetting his wife's suicide, the court acquitted him, emphasizing that handwriting analysis is not infallible. The court stated that handwriting experts must be examined in court and subjected to cross-examination to test their opinions under Section 45 of the Evidence Act.
