Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

My query is that, Is a Handwriting Report by a Private Handwriting Expert acceptable in court of Law especially in a criminal case registered by the State (Police) ?

In our matter the police has yet not produced the handwriting expert's opinion in forgery case, in that case can we produce a Private Report in court?

Please Advice. Thank You

if it was a case on police report, it was for the police being investigating agency to seek the report of an expert from government forensic labs and if it has not been obtained the benefit of that will go to accused and the complainant cannot bring it as an evidence.

However, if it is a case of private complaint, then be it may pre charge evidence or otherwise, the complainant may bring the expert.
