1 Bsb IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 2969 OF 2010 Mahavir Mahaling Mane ... Petitioner v/s Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation, Kolhapur Divn., Kolhapur. ... Respondent Mr.D.V.Sutar for the petitioner. None present for the respondent. CORAM: SMT.NISHITA MHATRE, J. DATED: 23RD JUNE, 2010 P.C.: 1. The petitioner has approached this Court contending that the orders of the Labour Court and the Industrial Court refusing to send two documents to the handwriting expert for verification. The documents are the Cash Check Form and the Way Bill. According to the learned advocate for the petitioner, there are many interpolations, cancellations, erasures and changes in these documents which have not been signed or endorsed by the petitioner and, therefore, 2 it is necessary to send these documents to the handwriting expert. The Labour Court has observed that there are certain cancellations and interpolations which cannot be disputed and in any case they can be seen with the help of magnifying glass. The Industrial Court has endorsed the view of the Labour Court. 2. In my view, both the Courts below have not committed any error. Assuming that there are interpolations or cancellations or erasures, the Labour Court will consider their effect on the documents. The Labour Court will also take into account the contention of the petitioner that these changes have not been endorsed by the petitioner or counter-signed by him. It is for the Labour Court to consider the evidentiary value of these documents while deciding the complaint. Therefore, in my view, there is no need to send the documents to the handwriting expert since there is no dispute that certain signatures on the documents are those of the petitioner. The Labour Court will also consider whether petitioner’s denial of his signature on some places on the document is genuine. 3. Writ petition, therefore, stands dismissed. ..... 3 4
