THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. SWAROOP REDDY CRIMINAL PETITION No.5939 OF 2007 ORDER: This Criminal petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. is filed by the petitioner - accused seeking to set aside the order dated 06.09.2007 in Crl.M.P.No.1629 of 2007 in C.C.No.241 of 2005 on the file of the Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Hindupur and consequently direct the document to the hand writing expert. 2. Heard. 3 . There is no dispute that the respondent/complainant has taken a pronote for some amount. According to the complainant, though that amount was paid through a cheque, the contention of the petitioner-accused is that the cheque was issued towards the pre-existing debt of the complainant to the accused. The amount involved is only Rs.55,000/- and the expenses for getting expert’s opinion would be around Rs.10,000/-at least including charges for his examination of the document and evidence etc. 4. Considering all the circumstances, it is directed that it is not a fit case for sending the pronote to the expert and the Court below may compare the signature on the pronote with that of undisputed signatures already available on record and also by taking specimen signature and also calling for the specimen signature of the petitioner-accused from bank, as the learned counsel for the petitioner reports that the petitioner has bank account. 5. The Criminal Petition is accordingly disposed of. ___________________ P. SWAROOP REDDY, J. Date: 05.12.2009. Rns
