CRP 396/2011 BEFORE THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE A.C. UPADHYAY. Heard Mr.P.M.Deka, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner. By this application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petition er/defendant has challenged the impugned order dated 25.8.2011 passed by the lea rned trial Court of Munsiff No.2, Kamrup, Guwahati, in Title Suit No.293/2008, w hereby the learned trial Court directed examination of the specimen signature of the petitioner/respondent by handwriting expert. On perusal of the order passed by the learned trial Court, it appears that initi ally, an application was made by the plaintiff-respondent, for examination of t he specimen signature of the petitioner/defendant by a handwriting expert. While considering the prayer, the trial Court observed that the petition filed by the plaintiff/respondent, for examination of the signature of the petitioner in the document would be considered after closure of the evidence of the plaintiff’s s ide. After closing the recording of the evidence of the witnesses, the learne d Court below considered the aforesaid prayer, since the petitioner-defendant de nied the signature on the document during trial. After due consideration of the matter and on perusal of the materials on record, the learned Court below passed the impugned order. Apparently, since the signature in the document was denied by the petitioner/def endant, the learned Court below had no alternative but to refer the document to the handwriting expert, for effective disposal of the pending lis. Therefore, I do not find any illegality and/or infirmity in the impugned order. The application is devoid of merit and accordingly stands dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that the impugned order of the tr ial Court was passed without following the procedure prescribed Order 26 Rule 10 CPC. Learned trial Court is directed to do the needful, for forensic examinatio n of the disputed signature by a handwriting expert, in accordance with law. With the aforesaid observation and direction, the petition stands disposed of. Let a copy of this order be forwarded to the learned Court of Munsiff No .2, Guwahati.
