In Crl.M.C.No.665/2011, I have passed a detailed order quoting the letter of the Director of Forensic Science Laboratory, Thiruvananthapuram wherein he has categorically opined that the age of the signature cannot be determined. Therefore, I am not inclined to interfere with the impugned order, particularly when the petitioner has led the defence witnesses in support of his case. Crl.M.C. is accordingly dismissed.
