IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Revision No.4612 of 2002 Date of decision:25.03.2009 Chanchal Singh and another ...Petitioners versus Gurdip Singh and others ...Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE K.KANNAN Present: Mr.Kanwaljit Singh, Senior Advocate with Mr. Rohan Chaudhary, Advocate for the petitioners. None for the respondents. 1. Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the digest ? K.Kannan, J.(Oral) 1. The order is against the trial Court observing that the report of the Director, Finger Prints Bureau, Phillaur is already available on record and therefore, the cross-examination of the witness on the basis of the report could be undertaken. The impugned order came to be passed in an application filed by the plaintiff to permit the sale deeds Ex.D-1 and D-2 allegedly containing the thumb impression of the father of the plaintiff Shri Sewa Singh to be sent to Finger Prints Bureau, Phillaur for comparison. The mistake committed by the Court initially was to secure an opinion on the thumb impressions contained in Ex.D-1 and D-2 themselves, when both of them were impugned. The comparison ought to have with reference to a document containing the admitted thumb impression of the father of the plaintiff. The report which was Civil Revision No.4612 of 2002 - 2 - already given, and opinion with reference to the thumb impressions found in the disputed documents by comparison cannot be of any avail. 2. The Court below is directed to obtain the examination and report of thumb impression expert in relation to the disputed documents Ex.D-1 and D-2 in comparison with a thumb impression from an admitted document which contains the admitted thumb impression of the father of the plaintiff. The report already filed may be eschewed and a fresh report obtained in the manner as directed above. 3. Revision petition is disposed of in the above terms. (K.KANNAN) JUDGE 25.03.2009 sanjeev
