THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GHULAM MOHAMMED C.R.P.No.4254 of 2011 ORDER The respondent filed O.S.No.1087 of 2009 against the petitioner in the Court of II Senior Civil Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, for recovery of an amount of Rs.4,02,000/- based on a promissory note dated 10.01.2007, executed by the petitioner. In the said suit, the petitioner filed I.A.No.658 of 2011 under Section 73 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (for short ‘the Act’), seeking to send Ex.B2 along with specimen handwriting of the respondent, to Forensic Science Laboratory, Hyderabad, for comparison and report. Through order dated 11.08.2011, the Court below dismissed the same. Hence, this revision. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the material on record. 3. The material on record shows that the petitioner after execution of Ex.A1-promisory note on 10.01.2007 defaulted in payment of the amount. On demand by the respondent, the petitioner issued a cheque Ex.A2 dated 12.05.2008, which was returned for insufficiency of funds when presented before the Bank. According to the petitioner, Ex.B2 is in the handwriting of the respondent and it disproves the whole claim of the respondent. The respondent in his evidence denied those handwritings. Ex.B2 pertains to the years 2001 to 2006, whereas the suit documents i.e., Exs.A1 and A2 pertain to 2007 and 2008 respectively. Since the suit is filed based on Exs.A1 and A2 and the respondent denied the handwriting in Ex.B2, this Court is of the view that there is no need to send Ex.B2 to the handwriting expert for comparison. I do not find any merit in this revision warranting interference by this Court in the order impugned. However, it is needless to observe that under Section 73 of the Act, the Court is empowered to compare the signatures on the documents with the admitted signatures and give its opinion in rendering justice. Accordingly, the Civil Revision Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J Date:14.10.2011 sj
