THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2052 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to set aside the order dated 14.12.2010 in Crl.R.P.No.131 of 2010 passed by the learned I-Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge, Hyderabad, whereby the order dated 29.04.2010 in Crl.M.P.No.4118 of 2009 in C.C.No.603 of 2009 passed by the learned XVIII Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, was confirmed. The main grievance of the petitioner herein is that he filed an application under Section 45 of the Indian Evidence Act to send the cheque in the case, which was signed by him, to a handwriting expert for comparison. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the cheque was in fact signed by the petitioner herein, whereas the contents on the cheque were written by some other person, therefore, to ascertain the vintage of the ink and also the handwriting on the cheque, the petitioner wants to send the cheque to the handwriting expert. The trial Court, after hearing both the counsel and perusal of the records, dismissed the application of the petitioner and the same was confirmed by the appellate Court. The reason given by the learned Sessions Judge for his confirming the order of the trial Court needs no interference. Further, the expert’s opinion is not a conclusive proof and the petitioner can as well establish his case by adducing other evidences. Since the case is pending for a long time, this Court is of the view that the present petition is filed only to drag on the proceedings. Thus, this Court is not inclined to interfere with the concurrent findings of the learned Sessions Judge. This criminal petition is accordingly dismissed. ____________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO 09.03.2011 v v
