IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD WEDNESDAY, THE ELEVENTH DAY OF AUGUST TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1424 OF 2010 Between: Pulluru Chakravarthi … PETITIONER And The State of A.P. & another … RESPONDENTS This Court made the following: HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1424 OF 2010 ORDER: 1. This revision petition is sought to be filed questioning order dated 26.05.2010, passed by the III Additional Judicial Magistrate of the I Class, Tirupati, in Crl.M.P.No.576 of 2010 in S.T.C.No.101 of 2005 by which the lower Court refused to send the dishonoured cheque to an expert for comparison of hand writings in that cheque with the other hand writings on record. 2. The accused who is accused of offence punishable under Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act filed the present petition in the lower Court under Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act. Signature of the accused in the dishonoured cheque is not in dispute. The accused disputes his hand writing in other columns of the dishonoured cheque. He wants to send the dishonoured cheque for comparison of his writings therein with writings in the previous and subsequent cheques. It cannot be said that the previous and subsequent cheques are containing admitted hand writings of the petitioner. So much of exercise is not contemplated in a case relating to Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, which has to be tried summarily. The case was filed in the lower Court in the year, 2005. After completion of the complainant’s evidence, examination of the accused and defence evidence, the petitioner filed the present petition with a view to further drag on the proceedings. I see absolutely no bonafides as well as merits in the petition filed in the lower Court as well as in the present criminal revision petition. The lower Court rightly dismissed the petition. I do not find any infirmities in the order passed by the lower Court. 3. In the result, the criminal revision petition is dismissed. ______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J August 11, 2010 KL HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1424 OF 2010 August 11, 2010 KL
