IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRAPRADESH AT HYDERABAD HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1248 of 2010 DATE:09.07.2010 Between: M/s.Ranga Indane Enterprises and another …… Petitioners/Petitioners And: K.Kondala Rao and another …..Respondents HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1248 of 2010 ORDER: The accused seek to file this revision petition against order dated 03.05.2010 passed by the I Additional Judicial Magistrate of the First Class, Narsaraopet in Crl.M.P.No.989 of 2010 in C.C. No.3 of 2007 by which the lower Court dismissed the petition filed by the accused under Section 45 of the Evidence Act refusing to send the dishonoured cheque to expert for comparison of signature of the accused therein. After fag end of the trial, the accused filed the present petition in the lower Court, in the year 2010, after three years of filing of the case. It is contended by the petitioners’ counsel that the accused misplaced four cheques and that on one such misplaced cheques, the complainant forged her signature and presented the same for encashment. The cheque in question was not dishonoured on the ground of signature not tallied. It was dishonoured on two grounds of ‘insufficient funds’ and ‘stop payment’. Therefore, when the bank itself does not dispute signature of the accused on the dishonoured cheque, no further roaming enquiry by way of examination of the cheque by an expert is necessary. It is evident that the petition was filed in the lower Court by the accused to drag on the proceedings. I see absolutely no merits as well as bonafides in the petition filed in the lower Court as well as in this revision petition. 2) Hence, the revision petition is dismissed. _______________________________ SAMUDRALA GOVINDARAJULU, J July 9, 2010 KSH
