The counsel for the revision petitioner has sought for setting aside the order of the court below dismissing her application seeking to forward the impugned cheque for expert opinion. The court below has observed that the evidence of the prosecution is over and the accused was questioned under Section 313 of Crl.P.C. and the case is posted for defence evidence. 2. The revision petitioner wants the writings in the cheque except the signature to be examined by the handwriting expert. According to her, she has given a blank signed cheque to the complainant as security for an amount of Rs.1,50,000/-. 3. I find that the matter is to be disposed of within six months from the date of filing of the complaint vide Section 143(3) of Negotiable Instruments Act. Hence, except in exceptional cases, forwarding the cheque to the handwriting expert is not contemplated. I find no merit in the revision Crrp139/2007 Page numbers petition. The court below shall dispose of the matter on merits untrammeled by any observation contained in the order in CMP No. 2831/06. The criminal revision petition is dismissed. K.R.UDAYABHANU, JUDGE csl
