Solution

Section 68 specifically requires that for documents like Wills and other attested documents, at least one attesting witness must be examined to prove execution. This provision ensures the reliability and genuineness of critical legal documents. The presence and testimony of a witness act as safeguards against forgery or coercion. The court relies on this witness to verify that the person actually signed the document in their presence and with free will, thereby establishing authenticity.
