IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRL.P.NO.3170 OF 2010. Date:09.04.2010 Between:- Achyuta Srinivasa Rao ..Petitioner/Defacto complainant And The State of A.P., rep.by its Public Prosecutor, High Court of A.P., Hyderabad and others. .. Respondents ORDER:- The petitioner is the defacto complainant in Crime No.129 of 2004 relating to offences under Sections 323 and 468 I.P.C. Previously, the Investigating Officer, through the Public Prosecutor, filed Crl.M.P.No.2665 of 2007 in the Court of Additional Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Mangalagiri for issuing of summons to the defacto complainant for obtaining his signatures in order to send the same to Hand Writing Expert for comparing the same with disputed signatures contained in the disputed documents. The Magistrate closed that petition on 26.09.2007. On the ground that the investigating agency did not take the matter to higher Courts against the above order of the Magistrate, the defacto complainant himself filed Crl.R.C.No.1486 of 2007 in this Court. This Court, by order dated 01.04.2008, while dismissing the revision petition, observed as under: “It is, however, open for the Investigating Officer to send the disputed documents with admitted documents of contemporaneous nature available in the Court to the Hand Writing Expert for comparison and opinion, if the same is so required.” It is grievance of the petitioner that inspite of the above observations of this Court, the Investigating Officer is not obtaining his specimen signatures for sending disputed documents along with specimen signaures to the Hand Writing Expert. Now the petitioner seeks in this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C for directions to the police to take his specimen signatures and to send them to Hand Writing Expert to compare with old signature which was in O.S.No.1225 of 1998 of the I Additional Junior Civil Judge’s Court, Guntur. This Court is of the opinion that having regard to observations made by this Court previously in Crl.R.C.No.1486 of 2007, no further directions in this regard are required. In case the investigating agency fails to take specimen signatures of the defacto complainant and complete the exercise, as indicated above, and file final report/charge sheet before the Magistrate, then, it is open to the petitioner after filing of final report/charge sheet to approach the Magistrate with a petition for this purpose i.e., for obtaining his specimen signatures in open Court and to send the same to Hand Writing Expert for the purpose of making comparison of those signatures with disputed signatures in the disputed documents. In such event, the Magistrate will consider the matter afresh without reference to previous order in Crl.M.P.No.2665 of 2007 and pass necessary orders on merits. Subject to the above observations, the petition is dismissed. _​_________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J 9th April 2010 AMD
