But, as the learned Magistrate has ordered for sending the document to the Expert giving reasons, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order. 5) However, considering the circumstances of the case, it is directed that while sending the disputed documents for comparison, the trial Court shall fix a maximum period of three months time for comparison and report by the Expert and the relevant papers i.e. disputed signatures and the hand writing and undisputed signatures and hand writing, shall be send to the Expert to avoid unnecessary delay in correspondence. There shall be a condition that in case the report is not received by the trial Court within three months of sending the documents, it shall be treated that the Expert has not expressed any opinion. Further, the trial Court shall send the material to the Expert within a fortnight from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 6) With above direction, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. _____________________ P.
