THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1216 of 2010 Dated:09.07.2010 Between: S.Suresh Kumar .. Petitioner And The State of Andhra Pradesh rep., by Station House Officer, I Town Police Station, Vizajanagaram, rep., by Public Prosecutor, High Court of Andhra Pradesh, Hyderabad and others .. Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1216 of 2010 ORDER: 1) The petitioner/accused seeks to file this Criminal Revision Case against the order dated 12.04.2010 passed by the Additional Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Vizianagaram in Crl.M.P.No.885 of 2010 in C.C.No.975 of 2007 by which the lower Court dismissed the petition filed by the accused under Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 refusing to send Ex.D1 - letter to an expert. Ex.D1 is stated to be a letter written by the de facto complainant/PW.1 and signed by her. Though PW.1 in the cross examination denied writing of that letter and signature therein, her father as PW.2 in cross examination is stated to have admitted the said letter and the contents therein. In that view of the matter, no purpose will be served in sending Ex.D1 - letter to any expert. 2) The case in the lower Court is not one for forgery punishable under Sections 465 and 468 of the Indian Penal Code; and it is one for an offence punishable under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. Ex.D1 – letter is not the subject matter of the case. It is only a piece of evidence, which may probablise truth or falsity of PW.1’s allegations. Since PW.2 has admitted the said letter to be that of PW.1, no further exercise by way of sending the same letter to an expert for comparison of signatures and handwriting is necessary. I see no infirmity in the order passed by the lower Court. 3) Hence, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J 09.07.2010 KH
