THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.2875 of 2011 ORDER: The deceased petitioner No.1 filed O.S.No.131 of 1997 in the Court of the Principal Junior Civil Judge, Markapur against the respondents for declaration of title and ancillary reliefs in respect of the suit schedule property. The trial of the suit commenced and as of now, the evidence of the respondents is being recorded. Petitioner No.1 filed I.A.No.1361 of 2010 under Section 45 of the Evidence Act with a prayer to send Ex.B2, an agreement of sale, dated 27.07.1968, and Ex.B8, a registered sale deed, dated 10.03.1968, containing the signatures of Guntaka Chinna Kesavula Reddy for comparison and opinion. The application was opposed by the respondents. The trial Court dismissed the I.A. through order, dated 29.04.2011, on the ground that though petitioner No.1 had knowledge about the documents, he did not choose to take necessary steps for comparison at the earliest. Hence, this revision. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for the respondents. The only ground stated by the trial Court for rejecting the application is that petitioner No.1 did not take steps at the earliest. The documents are relied upon by the respondents. It is only after their evidence is commenced that an occasion would arise to take such steps that too in case the suggestion made as to the genuinity or otherwise of the signatures is denied. Unless the respondents are confronted with that question, any steps taken by the petitioners herein would have been premature. Hence, the civil revision petition is allowed and the order under revision is set aside. As a result, I.A.No.1361 of 2010 is allowed, as prayed for. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:28.09.2011. kdl
