THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA C.R.P. No. 5448 of 2010 O r d e r: This C.R.P. is directed against the order dated 18.09.2010, passed by the VIII Additional Senior Civil Judge, Ranga Reddy District, dismissing the application in I.A. No. 1263 of 2010 in O.S. No. 1607 of 2006, filed by the petitioner, praying to send the alleged signature of P.W.2 on the invoices-Exs. B3 to B17 to a handwriting expert for comparison and opinion. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the order under revision. Though the petitioner contends that since the respondents had put up their counter claim, based on forged documents, allegedly counter-signed by P.W.2 with the seal of the firm, and therefore, the signature of P.W.2 on the invoices, namely Exs. B3 to B17, should be sent to an handwriting expert for comparison and opinion, the fact remains, a perusal of the affidavit filed by the petitioner in support of the present application would disclose that he has not taken any such plea. Be that as it may, admittedly, the petitioner filed the suit for recovery of money against the respondents. The respondents filed written statement and also put up counter claim, claiming Rs.9,26,708/- , and in support of their counter-claim, the respondents filed documents Exs. B1 to B18. The respondents, having put up counter claim on the strength of Exs. B1 to B17, burden is on them to prove that they are genuine. Hence, no exception can be taken to the order passed by the Court below refusing to send the signature of P.W.1 on Exs. B3 to B17 for comparison and opinion of handwriting expert, and more so when it is the specific case of the respondents that they do not know as to who counter-signed on Exs. B3 to B17 and had put the seal of the firm. For the foregoing reasons, I find no reason whatsoever to interfere with the order under revision in exercise of supervisory jurisdiction of this Court under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. There is no merit in the C.R.P., and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Dated: 14th December, 2010 KSR
