This paper analyses the judgements of the High Courts and those of the subordinate courts to trace out the importance of handwriting comparison and find out the shortcomings in its process comparing questioned documents with the original/accepted documents. The objective is to identify the scope and areas needing further improvement in its technological or software terms. For this purpose, 10 reported relevant judgements of the High Courts and 36 cases of District courts have been scanned.
