The learned Chief Presidency Magistrate examined the handwriting expert and after taking all the facts into consideration he held: "that the evidence on handwriting including the opinion of the Handwriting Expert does not support the complainant 's version." Against this order the complainant Pramode Ranjan Sarkar took a revision to the Calcutta High Court which was heard by Debabrata Mookerjee, J. Before him three contentions were raised (1) that the Chief Presidency Magistrate erred in examining the witnesses himself after he had received the result of the enquiry held by Mr. A. B. Shyam, 346 another Magistrate, under section 202, Code of Criminal Procedure; (2) the learned Magistrate misunderstood the scope of sections 202 and 203 and misdirected himself by insisting upon a standard of proof which the law did not require at the initial stage when the only question was whether the process should issue or not and the third contention related to the power of revision of High Court under section 439 when dealing with orders of a Chief Presidency Magistrate.
