The petitioner is the defendant in the suit filed by respondent for recovery of money.
2. During the pendency of the suit, the petitioner / defendant filed a petition in I.A.No.155 of 2014 with a prayer to send the signature of the respondent to the expert of Tamil Nadu Forensic Department at Chennai. The trial court considering the facts and circumstances rejected the relief sought for by the petitioner on the ground that the alleged acknowledgment said to have been signed by the respondent / plaintiff, as produced by the petitioner was xerox copy of the paper and the original document has not been produced before the trial court.
3. Further, no admitted signature of the respondent had been produced before the trial court for the purpose of comparison. The trial court cannot send xerox copy of the signature, for signature verification to the Forensic Department. Even the document supporting original signature along with any other document also had not been produced before the trial court. In the absence of any original signature, the trial court is right in rejecting the petition filed by the petitioner and the finding of the trial court is convincing and accordingly, this Court is not inclined to consider the grounds of the Revision filed by this petitioner and hence this Civil Revision Petition is dismissed as devoid of merits. No order as to costs. Consequently, connected M.P.No.1 of 2014 is closed.
