FORGERY
Suspected signatures are divided into seven classes:-

• Forged signatures where no attempt has been made to make a copy of the genuine signature of the person purporting to sign the document.
• Forged signatures of a fictitious person
• Forged signatures which resemble the genuine signatures since they have been produced by a tracing process
• Forged signatures which resemble the genuine signatures written free hand to produce what is known as a simulated forgery
• Genuine signatures which have been obtained by trickery
• Genuine signatures which the writers are honestly unwilling to accept as genuine
• Genuine signatures which have been deliberately written illegibly or in an unusual manner so as to afford the signatories some plausible grounds for disclaiming them should they deem it expedient.
