IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No. 487 of 2008 Date of Decision: 21.11. 2008 M/s Satish Kumar and Sunil Kumar ...... Appellant Versus M/s Mittal Brothers ...... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Bijender Dhankhar, Advocate for the appellant. Mr. Vivek Lamba, Advocate for the respondent. **** Ajay Tewari, J. This appeal has been filed against the judgment of the lower Appellate Court allowing the appeal of the respondent and consequently dismissing the suit of the appellant for recovery of money on the basis of pronote. Learned counsel for the appellant has argued that the trial Court rightly rejected the alleged Rokar Bahi produced by the respondent since it had some blank pages and there were many entries against which there were no signatures and thus was not admissible in evidence. I, however, find that the learned lower Appellate Court has categorically held that he had compared the admitted signatures of the appellant with the signatures appearing on the Bahi and even from a perusal of the naked eye it was clear RSA No. 487 of 2008 -2- that those were of the same person. This finding coupled with the fact that it was for the appellant to have proved that the signatures were not of the appellant (which the appellant failed to do) would lead to the inevitable conclusion that the finding of fact recorded by the learned lower Appellate Court cannot be termed to be either perverse or not arising from the material on the record. Consequently, I hold that the questions of law proposed do not arise in this appeal and the same is dismissed. No costs. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE November 21, 2008 sunita
