Vishwas Krushi Kendra, Shemba Vs. Vidarbha Co-operative Marketing Soci ...

Court: Mumbai Nagpur

Decided on: Jan-12-2015

Oral Judgment: 1. Heard. Admit. Heard finally by consent. 2. Considering the specific defence taken by the applicant and also his denial of sending of letter containing alleged admission on his part vide Ex.49, I am of the view that the application filed by the applicant praying for sending of the cheque vide Ex.41 and the document vide Ex.49 for examination by Handwriting expert, ought to have been allowed by the trial Court. Dismissal of this application has resulted in denial of fair trial as held by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Kalyani Baskar (Mrs.) v. M.S. Sampoornam (Mrs.) reported in (2007) 2 SCC 258 and T. Nagappa v. Y.R. Murlidhar reported in 2008 ALL MR (Cri) 1945 (SC). 3. Right to adduce evidence including that of report of Handwriting expert is a valuable right and if such right is denied, it would lead to denial of fair opportunity to the accused to defend himself and ultimately he would be deprived of fair trial in the case. 4. The applicant/ accused in this case...

Heard Mr.B.B.Tiwari, learned counsel for the First Informant who was permitted to intervene in the matter and oppose the application. 2. The applicant is sought to be arrested in C.R.No.123/13 registered at Amboli Police Station, Mumbai.
