BY THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 26/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Kss M.N.KRISHNAN, J ===================== W.P.(C) No.10223 OF 2008 ===================== Dated this the 26th day of March 2008 JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed for a direction to set aside Ext.P7 order. It is an application for sending the thump impression in a 1947 and a 1977 documents for comparison of the thump impression so as to find out the genuineness of document No.169 of 1947. Various contentions are raised by the other side on the ground that the documents are about 60 years old and Section 90 of the Evidence Act has to be considered and there are materials which would indicate that it need not be sent for expert opinion. But unfortunately the learned Sub Judge has disposed of the matter with a one line order which certainly requires interference at the hands of this court. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I direct the court below to consider the contentions of the rival parties and pass a considered order in accordance with law. Writ petition is disposed of as above. M.N.KRISHNAN, JUDGE Cdp/- CRPs 1918 & 1919/2003 -:2:-
