Nanavati, learned APP, waives service of notice of<br \/>\nrule on behalf of respondent No.1-State and Mr. Hardik A. Dave,<br \/>\nlearned Advocate, waives for respondent No.2.\n<\/p>\n<p>1.\t\tPetitioner is the<br \/>\noriginal accused, who is facing a complaint for dishonour of cheque,<br \/>\nunder Section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act.  In the said<br \/>\nproceedings, he had filed an application for sending the disputed<br \/>\ncheque for handwriting expert&#8217;s opinion.  However, the said request<br \/>\nwas turned down by the learned Magistrate, on the ground that the<br \/>\nstage for calling the opinion of handwriting expert has not yet come.<br \/>\n Later on, at the stage of recording of his statement under Section<br \/>\n313 of the Criminal Procedure Code, he filed a fresh application<br \/>\nExhibit-62 and revised his request.  In the said application it is<br \/>\nstated inter alia that, the account from which the cheque was<br \/>\nalleged to be issued, was closed down in the year 2001. The booklet,<br \/>\nwhich contained the disputed cheque, was issued in the year 1998. It<br \/>\nis, therefore, apparent that he would not have issued such a cheque<br \/>\nin the year 2004, when the said cheque is alleged to have been given.<br \/>\nAfter 1998, other cheque books have been issued.  He, therefore,<br \/>\nprayed that to verify the details filled up in the said cheque, i.e.<br \/>\nthe age of the signature and handwritings in the cheque and also to<br \/>\nverify whether the signature and the handwritings are of same person<br \/>\nor not, it is necessary to send the disputed cheque for handwriting<br \/>\nexpert&#8217;s opinion.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\t\tThis application was<br \/>\nturned down by the learned Magistrate by order dated 22.02.2010,<br \/>\ninter alia on the ground that when the accused has admitted<br \/>\nhis signature on the cheque, it is not necessary to call for the<br \/>\nexpert&#8217;s report, regarding other details. His revision application<br \/>\nwas also dismissed by the learned Additional District Judge, by order<br \/>\ndated 26.04.2010.  He has, therefore, approached this Court, in the<br \/>\npresent petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\t\tI have heard learned<br \/>\nCounsel for the petitioner. He submitted that the Courts below have<br \/>\ncommitted serious error in rejecting the application of the<br \/>\npetitioner. He contended that, since several disputes were raised<br \/>\nregarding the disputed cheque, it was very essential that the same be<br \/>\nsend for handwriting expert&#8217;s opinion.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\t\tHe relied on a<br \/>\ndecision of the Apex Court in the case of  T. Nagappa Vs.<br \/>\nY.R. Muralidhar  reported in AIR 2008 SC 2010, in support<br \/>\nof the petition.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\t\tOn the other hand,<br \/>\nlearned Counsel for the complainant opposed the petition, supported<br \/>\nthe decision of the Courts below and contended that the petitioner<br \/>\nhad not led any evidence for the prayer made in the application<br \/>\nExhibit-62.  He relied on a decision of the learned Single Judge of<br \/>\nthis Court in the case of  Madhubhai Gandabhai Patel VS.<br \/>\nJoitaram Jividas Patel and Another  reported in 2005 (3)<br \/>\nGLH 535.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\t\tHe also drew my<br \/>\nattention to the reply filed by the petitioner to the notice under<br \/>\nSection 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, issued by the<br \/>\ncomplainant.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\t\tI have also heard<br \/>\nlearned APP for respondent No.1-State.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\t\tThough, it is true<br \/>\nthat the petitioner has admitted his signature on the disputed<br \/>\ncheque, he has been disputing other aspects related to the drawing of<br \/>\nthe cheque. For example, he contended that the contents of the cheque<br \/>\nare not written by him.  He also, in the application Exhibit-62,<br \/>\nstated that the account itself was closed in the year 2001, the<br \/>\ncheque book was issued in the year 1998, and therefore, the disputed<br \/>\ncheque could not have been issued in the year 2004.\n<\/p>\n<p>9.\t\tWithout, further,<br \/>\nelaborating on this aspect of the matter, so as not to prejudice the<br \/>\ncomplainant or the petitioner during the pendency of the trial, in my<br \/>\nopinion the request of the petitioner to send the disputed cheque for<br \/>\nhandwriting expert&#8217;s opinion, ought to have been accepted, more<br \/>\nparticularly, when the petitioner requested that the age of the<br \/>\nsignature itself be verified. His admission of his signature on the<br \/>\ndisputed cheque, therefore, was not the sole consideration, on which<br \/>\nhis request should have been turned down.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.\t\tIn the case of  T.\n<\/p>\n<p>Nagappa (Supra), the Apex Court has held and observed as<br \/>\nunder:\n<\/p>\n<p> 7.\t\tWhen a<br \/>\ncontention has been raised that the complainant has misused the<br \/>\ncheque, even in a case where a presumption can be raised under<br \/>\nSection 118(a) or 139 of the said Act, an opportunity must be granted<br \/>\nto the accused for adducing evidence in rebuttal thereof.  As the law<br \/>\nplaces the burden on the accused, he must be given an opportunity to<br \/>\ndischarge it.\n<\/p>\n<p>11.\t\tIn the result, the<br \/>\npetition is allowed. The impugned order dated 22.02.2010, passed by<br \/>\nthe Judicial Magistrate First Class(Additional Senior Civil Judge),<br \/>\nViramgam, below application Exhibit-62 in Criminal Case No. 1067 of<br \/>\n2004 and the order dated 26.04.2010, passed by the learned Additional<br \/>\nDistrict Judge, F.T.C. No.2, Ahmedabad(Rural) at Viramgam, below<br \/>\napplication Exhibit-7 in Criminal Revision Application No.2 of 2010,<br \/>\nare QUASHED.  Application, EXHIBIT-62, is<br \/>\nALLOWED. Learned MAGISTRATE shall take<br \/>\nthe CONSEQUENTIAL steps.  The report from FSL may be<br \/>\ncalled expeditiously.  Rule is made absolute.\n<\/p>\n<p>(AKIL<br \/>\nKURESHI, J.)<\/p>\n<p>Umesh\/<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Rajeshkumar vs State on 25 August, 2010 Author: Akil Kureshi,&amp;Nbsp;
