THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO CIVIL REVISION PETITION NO.4180 OF 2011 ORDER: In the suit filed by the respondent/plaintiff being O.S.No.72 of 2005 on the file of the Court of Junior Civil Judge, Alamuru, East Godavari District, for recovery of money based on a promissory note dated 15.04.2002, the petitioner/defendant filed I.A.No.54 of 2010 seeking to send the suit promissory note to handwriting expert for comparison of signatures. The application was dismissed on 04.07.2011. Aggrieved by which, the present Civil Revision Petition is filed. There is no dispute that the suit was filed in 2005. It is not clear from the record whether the petitioner raised a plea of forgery. Be that as it is, when the suit is ripe for trial and hearing, belatedly the petitioner filed application under Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (“the Act” for brevity). Therefore, the trial Court rightly dismissed the application observing that the signatures can always be compared under Section 73 of the Act. After perusing the record, this Court does not find any grave error apparent on the face of the record. The Civil Revision Petition is dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 14th October 2011 RRB
