The pleadings alleged fraud, incapacity of the executant, and forged signatures, which amounted to a clear denial of execution. In that situation, the proviso to Section 68 of the Indian Evidence Act does not dispense with proof by an attesting witness, because it applies only when a registered document other than a will is not specifically denied.
