C.R. No.965 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. C.R. No.965 of 2008 Date of Decision: 15.2.2008 Naresh Kumar .....Petitioner Vs. Smt.Tarsem Devi and others ...Respondents .... CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAJIVE BHALLA **** Present : Mr.Vipin Mahajan, Advocate for the petitioner. ... RAJIVE BHALLA, J (Oral) Challenge in this revision is, to an order dated 30.1.2008, whereby the learned trial Court has dismissed two applications, the first filed under Order 12 Rule 2 for recalling Tarsem Devi, plaintiff, to confront her with different signatures on various documents, filed before the trial Court and the second application for leading additional evidence to examine an expert. Counsel for the petitioner submits that Tarsem Devi has affixed signatures on different documents, like Power of Attorney, affidavit, compromise, agreement etc. In all these documents, her signatures differ and, therefore, the learned trial Court should have recalled Tarsem Devi and granted liberty to the petitioner, to get the signatures examined by a handwriting expert. The aforementioned contention cannot be accepted. Tarsem Devi has already appeared as a witness and has been cross-examined by the petitioner. The alleged signatures were available on record on the date C.R. No.965 of 2008 2 Tarsem Devi was cross-examined. Even otherwise, Tarsem Devi stood by her signatures appearing on the aforementioned documents. In this view of the matter, the impugned order, in so far as it relates to the application filed under Order 12 Rule 2, read with Section 151 CPC, does not call for interference. As regards the application for leading additional evidence, a perusal of the impugned order, discloses that though, the said application is stated to have been dismissed, no reasons are forthcoming for its dismissal. In the interest of justice, liberty is granted to the petitioner, to file an appropriate application before the trial Court, seeking clarification, as to the decision, with respect to the application, filed under Order 18 Rule 17 of the CPC. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. Copy of this order be given dasti on payment of usual charges. 15.2.2008 ( RAJIVE BHALLA ) GS JUDGE
