Thomas, counsel for the petitioner. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK, J. DATE : SEPTEMBER 20 , 2011 . By this petition, the petitioner impugns the order passed by the trial Court on 10.02.2011 rejecting an application filed by the petitioner for referring the two documents at Exhibits 33 and 34 for the opinion of the handwriting expert. The trial Court has rightly rejected the application filed by the petitioner on an observation that the petitioner could have examined an expert witness before the Court for rendering his opinion on the documents and there was no need of referring the document to the handwriting expert. Even otherwise, the application filed by the petitioner was misconceived as the petitioner did not dispute the signature of either the plaintiff or the witness, Shri Sunil Mirani, on the two documents. The petitioner merely wanted to prove whether the documents were signed on the same date or were signed on the dates mentioned in those documents. For proving the aforesaid fact, there is no need to examine an handwriting expert. The handwriting expert could have been examined only if the petitioner had disputed the signature of 2 either the plaintiff or the witness on the two documents. However, the signatures of the plaintiff and the witness were not disputed in this case. Since there is no merit in the writ petition, the same is dismissed with no order as to costs. JUDGE APTE
