Order

ORDER RESERVED ON :: 13.10.2022

ORDER PRONOUNCED ON :: 20.10.2022

This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed by

the petitioner under Section 482 Cr.P.C. against the order dated

(2 of 4) [CRLMP-6509/2017]

06.12.2017 passed by the learned Special Judge Sati Nivaran

Prakaran, Jaipur Metropolitan Jaipur and order dated 15.03.2017

passed by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate No.18, Jaipur

Metropolitan, Jaipur.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

learned trial Court vide order dated 15.03.2017 wrongly allowed

the application filed by the co-accused Satish for examining of

disputed Will from Central Forensic Laboratory. Learned counsel

for the petitioner also submits that the petitioner had filed the

revision petition of the said order but learned Revisional Court also

erred in dismissing the revision petition filed by the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that accused

has no right to file the application before the learned trial Court

under Section 173 (8) Cr.P.C. for further investigation. Learned

counsel for the petitioner also submits that the Investigating

Agency is free to file the additional investigation report by

exercising the power under Section 173 (8) Cr.P.C. Learned

counsel for the petitioner further submits that Satish Kumar Arora

had filed Criminal Miscellaneous Petition No.1283/2016 and said

petition was disposed of by the Co-ordinate Bench of this Court in

which clearly stated that the Investigating Agency has power to

file the additional material collected as per Section 173(8) Cr.P.C.

Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that the State

Forensic Science Laboratory has submitted the report in which

clearly established that disputed Will is forged one. So, orders of

the learned trial Court as well as learned Revisional Court be set-

aside.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has placed reliance

upon the following judgments:-(1) Amrutbhai Shambhubhai

(3 of 4) [CRLMP-6509/2017]

Patel Vs. Sumanbhai Kantibhai Patel & Ors. reported in AIR

2017 SC 774; (2) Reeta Nag Vs. State Of West Bengal and

others reported in (2009) SCC 129; (3) Bikash Ranjan Rout

Vs. State through the Secretary(Home), Government Of

NCT of Delhi in Criminal Appeal No.687/2019, SLP(Crl)

No.297/2015 decided on 16.04.2019; and (4) Sandeep

Khandelwal Vs. State Of Rajasthan in S. B. Criminal

Miscellaneous Petition No.3070/2017 decided on

04.07.2017.

Learned counsel for the respondents as well as learned

Public Prosecutor have opposed the arguments advanced by

learned counsel for the petitioner and submit that the orders of

the learned trial Court as well as learned Revisional Court do not

suffer from any illegality or infirmity. Learned counsel for the

respondents further submits that in first FSL report reveals that

investigation is not possible regarding forgery and second FSL

report was prepared without considering material documents. So,

learned trial Court rightly ordered for examination of disputed Will

by Central Forensic Laboratory. So, petition filed by the petitioner

be dismissed.

I have considered the arguments advanced by learned

counsel for the petitioner, learned counsel for the respondent as

well as learned Public Prosecutor.

It is an admitted position that in first FSL report reveals that

no comparison is possible and in second FSL report, certain

documents were not considered. Learned trial Court in its order

clearly stated that the documents Q-2 to Q-8 were not considered

while examining the disputed Will. So, in my considered opinion,

orders of the learned trial Court as well as learned Revisional

(4 of 4) [CRLMP-6509/2017]

Court do not suffer from any illegality or infirmity. Hence, present

petition, devoid of merits, liable to be dismissed.

Therefore, this Criminal Miscellaneous Petition stands

dismissed.

Stay application also stands disposed of.
