Mr. Sachin Zoting, Advocate for the applicant, Mr. P.S. Kshirsagar, Advocate for the respondent No.1, Mr. D.B. Patil, A.P.P. for the respondent No.2. CORAM : A.B. CHAUDHARI, J. DATED : 15.04.2010 1. This application is directed against the order dated 27th April, 2009 below Exhibit 60 rejecting the application for sending the cheque to the handwriting expert to verify the signature of the accused. 2. In normal course when the accused disputes his signature on the cheque, the Court may refer the cheque to the handwriting expert. But in the instant matter, earlier application Exh. 38 filed by the accused to the same effect was rejected. In application Ex.38, which was for making reference to handwriting expert, accused never stated that the cheque did not have his signature which shows that at the fag end of the trial, filing of application for 2 sending the cheque to the handwriting expert to verify the signature was clearly after thought and with a view to prolong the trial. 3. Hence, I find no merit in the application, the same is dismissed. JUDGE adgokar
