IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD THURSDAY, THE NINETH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND TEN PRESENT THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4661 OF 2008 Between: KKVN Srinivas. --- Petitioner. AND Pasam Jayaram Naidu. --- Respondent. The Court made the following: THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR CIVIL REVISION PETITION No.4661 OF 2008 ORDER: The plaintiff filed O.S. No.1491 of 2003 for recovery of amount based on a pronote, is aggrieved by the impugned order of the trial Court permitting the defendant to send the said pronote Ex.A-1 for comparison with admitted signatures of the defendant in vakalath and written statement for expert opinion. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. A memo of proof of service filed by the petitioner’s counsel shows that the respondent is served, however, none entered appearance on behalf of the Respondent. The suit appears to be already at the stage of evidence of the defendant. In the written statement, the defendant has taken the plea of the suit pronote being a forged document and that it does not contain the signature of the defendant. When the plaintiff was examined as PW.1, no suggestion was given to the plaintiff with reference to the defendant’s signature on Ex.A-1 nor it was suggested that the signature of the defendant is forged on Ex.A-1. Moreover, when the defendant himself examined as DW.1, in the cross-examination on 03-04-2007 he accepted the signature on Ex.A-1. Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed the depositions of PW.1 as well as DW.1 before this Court and on appreciation thereof, it is evident that Ex.A-1 is said to have been executed by the defendant. I am unable to see any purpose being served by sending the suit pronote for handwriting examination and opinion of the expert. In that view of the matter, the impugned order permitting the defendant to send the suit document i.e., Ex.A-1 for expert opinion appears to be totally unjustified and unnecessary. The impugned order i.e., I.A. No.898 of 2008 in O.S. No.1491 of 2003 is accordingly set aside and the revision petition is allowed. The learned Principal Junior Civil Judge, Tirupathi, shall now proceed from the stage of further evidence of defendant onwards and complete the trial and dispose of the suit as expeditiously as possible preferably on or before 30th April, 2011. ________________________ VILAS V.
