Civil Revision No.2813 of 2009 In this revision petition filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India, the petitioner has impugned the order dated 12.03.2009 passed by the Election Tribunal, Faridkot, whereby an application dated 17.02.2009 filed by the petitioner for granting permission to get the specimen signatures of Mrs.Mandeep Kaur and thumb impressions of Dhir Singh and Mangat Singh for comparison from the hand-writing and finger print expert, was rejected. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the prayer of the petitioner was with regard to getting the specimen signatures of Mrs.Mandeep Kaur and thumb impressions of Dhir Singh and Mangat Singh whereas the Election Tribunal while disposing of the aforesaid application vide impugned order dated 12.03.2009 (Annexure P-3) had taken as the application had been made by the petitioner for getting the thumb impressions/signatures of Kulbir Kaur for comparison from hand- writing expert. Learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to the contention recorded in the impugned order, the said portion reads as under:- “So the signatures/thumb impression of Kulbir Kaur may be got compared from Handwriting Expert and permission may be granted as such”. On a query being put by the Court, learned counsel for the respondents could not explain or justify the same, however, he has tried to support the order passed by the Election Tribunal. After perusing the impugned order dated 12.03.2009 (Annexure P-3), this Court is of the opinion that the Election Tribunal has adjudicated the aforesaid application of the petitioner considering as if it was for getting the signatures/thumb impressions of Kulbir Kaur compared from hand-writing and finger print expert whereas the same was in respect of getting the specimen signatures of Mrs.Mandeep Kaur and thumb impressions of Dhir Singh and Mangat Singh for comparison from the hand-writing and finger print expert. Accordingly, the present revision petition is allowed and the order impugned herein dated 12.03.2009 (Annexure P-3) is set aside. The Election Tribunal is directed to decide the application dated 17.02.2009 (Annexure P-2) afresh after hearing the learned counsel for the parties. August 24, 2009 (AJAY KUMAR MITTAL) seema JUDGE
