THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY Civil Revision Petition No.1595 of 2011 Dated 17th June, 2011 Between: Gavidi Srinivasa Rao …Petitioner And Kurminelli Vijayalakshmi …Respondent Counsel for the petitioner: Sri B.M.Patro Counsel for respondent: -- The Court made the following: ORDER: This civil revision petition arises out of order, dated 15.03.2011, in I.A.No.162 of 2011 in O.S.No.229 of 2007 on the file of the learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, Srikakulam. The petitioner is the defendant in the suit filed by the respondent for recovery of certain amounts on the foot of a promissory note. The petitioner filed written statement, wherein he has admitted his signatures, but denied execution of the promissory note. When the suit was coming up for arguments, the petitioner filed the present IA for sending the suit promissory note to handwriting expert. The main ground, on which, he filed the IA was that there are certain interpolations in the suit promissory note. In his affidavit, the petitioner has explained that PW.3, who is the scribe, has not written the entire suit promissory note and that the top portion of the promissory note is in one writing and the remaining portion is in another writing. The lower Court has dismissed the application mainly on the ground that the same is filed belatedly i.e., after closer of the evidence. Having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the petitioner ought to have filed the application before commencement of the trial. At any rate, if there is clear evidence on the interpolations in the promissory note as contended by the petitioner, there is no need for sending the same for the opinion of the handwriting expert. The petitioner can as well advance his pleas based on such interpolations even in the absence of an expert’s opinion. For the above-mentioned reasons, I do not find any ground to interfere with the order passed by the lower Court. The civil revision petition is accordingly dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the civil revision petition, C.R.P.M.P.No.2274 of 2011 is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 17th June, 2011 VGB
