Judgment Pronounced on 16.02.2022
1. Present writ petition is filed against the order dated
23.07.2018 passed by Senior Civil Judge, Dataramgarh, District
Sikar in Civil Suit No.54/2015 by which application filed by the
petitioner for summoning the original record for comparing the
signature and thumb impression against the document, was
rejected. Being aggrieved, the petitioner has knocked the door of
this court under Article 227. The background of the case is that
petitioner had filed a civil suit for declaration and perpetual
injunction and for declaring the alleged Will as null and void which
was alleged to be executed by her father in favour of the
respondents.
(2 of 3) [CW-21345/2018]
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that after
framing of the issues when the evidence started, the defendant
filed an application under Order 8 Rule 1 for taking on record the
documents qua temporary injunction bearing No.41/89 wherein
signatures of complainant petitioner, her mother and all the
necessary parties and thumb impression were present. That
defendant's application was allowed vide order dated 06.05.2017.
Petitioner filed an application for summoning the original record
from the concerned office and the court directed that the
signatures of the petitioner and that of the father of the petitioner
be compared. It was further stated by the petitioner that the
aforesaid documents are forged documents and have never been
signed by the petitioner and her father and therefore, the same
are required to be summoned in original and be sent for
examination/inspection by the expert.
3. Per contra, learned counsel for the defendants
supported the contention of the learned court below and
submitted that the present application has been filed with an
ulterior motive and the Will in question, in a registered Will which
should be believed and the documents which are called in question
by the petitioner are public documents and their genuinity/bona
fide can be questioned, only if cogent and reliable evidence is
produced by the plaintiff and in the discretion of the court, the
same may be sent for opinion of an expert.
4. We have heard learned counsel for the parties, perused
the records of the case and gone through the impugned order in
question. Article 227 can be invoked against the interim orders of
the court below only when there is a manifest error or the findings
are perverse. In the case in hand, the requisite documents which
(3 of 3) [CW-21345/2018]
are required to be summoned for their original verification public
documents, Will in question is a registered Will and for the reasons
stated in the impugned order, this court is not inclined to interfere.
5. In the result, the writ petition is dismissed.
6. All pending applications are also disposed of.
