5.This Court finds some merits in the claim of the learned counsel for the applicant that due to his position as a Senior Consultant in TCS and his official engagement, witness Mr.Sridharan Narayanan is not able to come personally to Court for giving evidence. More over, the scope of his examination is very limited to the extent of just identifying the signature of his father in the Will as attestor.
