                    JUSTICE DINESH MEHTA

                                   Order

13/01/2022


1. By way of the present writ petition, the petitioners have challenged the order dated 26.11.2021, passed by the learned Additional Civil Judge, Hanumangarh (hereinafter referred to as "the trial Court"), whereby the learned trial Court has appointed the Commissioner and directed to apprise the Court about the factual position of colour photograph.

2. Mr. N.L. Joshi, learned counsel for the petitioners relying upon a judgment of this Court submits that the Commissioner cannot be appointed for the purpose of collection of evidence.

3. True it is that the learned Trial Court should not appoint the Commissioner lightly in routine manner, however, considering the fact that the Commissioner was appointed on 26.11.2021 and was required to furnish his report on 08.12.2021, this Court is not inclined to interfere in the matter as the order impugned neither suffers from any jurisdictional error nor is there any error apparent, requiring exercise of power under Article 227 of the Constitution of India. No interference is thus warranted as held by Hon'ble the Supreme Court of India in Shalini Shyam Shetty & Ors. Vs. Rajendra Shankar Patil, reported in (2010) SCC 329 and Surya Dev Rai Vs. Ram Chander Rai & Ors., reported in 2003(6) SCC 675.

4. The writ petition is dismissed.

5. The Stay Petition also stands dismissed.
