Punjab-Haryana High Court Smt. Kashmir Kaur vs Smt. Bachan Kaur And Anr. on 18 November, 1999 Equivalent citations: (2000) 124 PLR 606 Author: V Bali Bench: V Bali JUDGMENT V.K. Bali, J. 1. Challenge herein is to an order dated 31.3.1999 passed by the learned Subordinate Judge declining the prayer of the petitioner who happens to be a plaintiff in the main lis to adduce additional evidence by way of producing a handwriting expert. 2. Before the contentions of the learned counsel representing the parties for and against are noticed, it will be useful to extract, even though in brief, facts culminating into filing of the present petition. 3. Petitioner herein, namely Kashmir Kaur happens to be young widow of Balbir Singh. The husband of the petitioner died on 15.5.1991 when the petitioner was only 23 years of age. An unsavoury dispute immediately on demise of Balbir Singh came into offing when none other than the mother-in-law of the plaintiff resisted inheritance of the estate left by Balbir Singh to the petitioner. This led to the filing of the civil suit by the petitioner who propounded a Will. It was stated that the husband had executed a Will and the petitioner would succeed to the entire estate-left by Balbir Singh. This suit was resisted by the respondent-mother-in-law who naturally challenged the due execution and validity of the Will. The learned trial Court on the pleadings of the parties, thus, framed an all important issue; “Whether Balbir Singh executed a Will dated 6.2.1991 in favour of plaintiff Kashmir Kaur? OPP. 4. In her endeavor to discharge the onus of issue referred to above, the petitioner examined two witnesses; one scribe and one attesting witness of the Will. Sufficient evidence having been led with regard to due executing and validity of the Will, naturally, onus shifted to the respondent to rebut the said evidence. An application was made before the trial Court to examine a handwriting expert to determine as to whether the signatures of the testator appended on the Will were genuine. The said application was allowed and the handwriting expert was examined on behalf of the respondent mother-in-law. It is at this stage that the present application was filed for producing additional evidence under Order 18 Rule 17-A of the Code of Civil Procedure permitting the petitioner also to examine the hand-writing expert, obviously with a view to show that the signatures appended on the Will by the testator were genuine. As mentioned above, it is this application of the petitioner which has been dismissed and it is the said order which has been impugned in the present petition. 5. Before I might determine the controversy in light of the contentions raised by the learned counsel representing the parties, it will be useful to mention that civil matters are decided on preponderance of evidence and the onus of an issue, be it initially placed on one party or the other, keeps on shifting during the currency of the trial. In a given case like the present, where onus of issue regarding execution and validity of the Will was on the plaintiff i.e., petitioner herein, it was discharged by examining the scribe and one of the attesting witnesses of the Will. The petitioner, in fact, endeavoured to discharge the onus placed on her by examining independent witnesses. In rebuttal, as mentioned above the respondent chose to examine the handwriting expert with a view to show that the signatures of Balbir Singh appended on the Will were not genuine. It is too well settled that execution and validity of a Will is proved by direct evidence i.e. by examining scribe and witnesses of the concerned document and that evidence of an expert, in the present case, evidence of Handwriting Expert, is only an opinion and, therefore, it may not be absolutely essential for a party to examine a handwriting expert in the first instance i.e. at the time of examining evidence in affirmative. However, the moment respondent examined the handwriting expert, petitioner could well take it that the onus again shifted on her to rebut the said evidence. In these circumstances, it was perhaps not a case which may strictly fall under the leading of additional evidence. The petitioner having closed her evidence in affirmative on the issue, referred to above, could well be permitted to examine the evidence in rebuttal to the evidence led by the respondent on the said issue. This Court is, thus, of the firm view that if asked for, the Court might have given permission to examine the handwriting expert, even though relating to an issue, onus whereof was initially to be discharged by the petitioner. It is in this background that it has been observed earlier that onus to prove an issue keeps on shifting throughout the trial. The Court is, thus, of the view that the petitioner is entitled to lead evidence in rebuttal as a matter of right and if, in this endeavor an application for additional evidence was made, the same ought to have been considered to achieve the same purpose and thus, ought to have been allowed. 6. The view that has been taken by this Court in the matter otherwise also appears to be in consonance with the provisions of Code of Civil Procedure as well. Order 18 deals with examination of witnesses. By virtue of Rule 1 of Order 18, plaintiff has the right to begin unless the defendant admits the facts alleged by him. As per rule 2 of Order 18, on the day fixed for hearing of the suit or any other day to which the hearing is adjourned, the party having the right to begin has to state his case and produce evidence in support of the issues which he is bound to prove. Rule 2 of Order 18 further provides that the other party can then state his case and produce his evidence and may then address the Court generally on the whole case. By

handwriting expert in Mumbai. Handwriting! A simple procedure, a simple activity, sometimes of our daily routine, while sometimes once a while. But still, if you talk to writers, about handwriting, they will tell you about its importance. They will tell you how it feels like to see the beauty of pearl-like written alphabets. But wait, is it only the writers who know the importance of handwriting, or there is something that can even lead anyone to the courtroom!  Yes. Handwriting is just not anything, anyone can come across, but it is some things that can lead to various criminal activities as well. People today are very well aware of the term called “Identity theft”. It is nothing but one of the games a criminal can play by imitating your handwritten signatures. What could be the possible handwritten documents: Here lies the importance of a handwriting expert, that can pick up the culprit amongst millions and help the victim get justice. Might be that is why the Constitution of India had made handwriting and signature forgery a serious criminal offense. There are many sections and acts in the Indian Constitution that deal with different types of forgery and handwriting or signature crime. This type of crime comes under Forgery, which includes, imitating someone else’s name or signature on a cheque, or any legal document like historical papers, Identification cards, certificates, licenses, etc. As per the Forgery Law in India, Section 465 of the Indian Penal Code, any person if found guilty in the case of forgery can be sentenced up to the jail term of 2 years, or fine, or both. But how to know whether forgery has happened or not? Special in the case of handwriting or as simple as the signature? The answer is “Handwriting Expert”. Handwriting Experts in any city or the Handwriting expert in Mumbai are those experts who read the handwriting or signatures very deeply to investigate whether forgery is done or not? Studying handwriting or signature is a complex procedure, where only veteran handwriting experts can conclude the basis of their experience. It is a subjective investigation and follows a long procedure. Also, the Section 67-78A of Evidence Act 1872, of India Code, deals with the proof of Signature and handwriting of a person. By now it must be clear how important is handwriting and signature when it comes to legitimacy. There are separate legal actions regarding everything. Therefore, Forensic Science is highly involved in cases, where justice depends solely on handwriting and signatures. Now, sometimes signature can be digital. What happens in that case? Here there are cyber laws regarding that also. But in normal cases, forensic services are highly recommended when handwriting can solve a case up to a crucial level. The Handwriting expert in Mumbai says that Handwriting can even tell a person’s behavior. When there is so much to do with handwriting, there needs to hire some experts as well that can deal with any handwriting and can come up with a single individual amongst the millions. Anil Gupta Forensic Services is the best company if you are searching for a Handwriting expert in Mumbai. Not to mention, but nowadays, people run so much after money that the criminal mindset is highly pampered, which gives rise to crime every other day. Metro cities are not behind in these cases. Rather they are the prominent locations for such forgery cases. After providing its professional services in Delhi, the company is all set to solve the forgery cases in Mumbai. Envisioning the forgery-free India, the founder of the company, came forward to give the private forensic services to serve the nation and bring justice to the people, which otherwise had to wait for a long time or have to sit quietly and lose all the hope of justice. Anil Gupta Forensic Services are here for services these people and find the main culprit through the best Handwriting expert in Mumbai. The company was incorporated to help people get justice, because many cases in India, are the cause of handwriting and signature forging. In these cases, finding the culprit is as difficult as finding a needle in the haystack. At this time normally the victim becomes hopeless. Here stands the role of a Handwriting expert in Mumbai provided by Anil Gupta Forensic Services, to catch the real culprit based on just handwriting and example as small as a signature. The services of the company encompass: The Handwriting expert in Mumbai provided by Anil Gupta Forensic Services is intelligent in studying handwriting and its characteristics, as per the class and the individuals. They know how the formation of every letter matters a lot. They know the factors that can affect handwriting and even the contribution of spaces in handwriting. All these factors matter a lot.

The court acted as an expert by comparing the signatures itself without the devices which are available to a handwriting expert, besides the lack of knowledge of the subject, which the handwriting expert possesses, is going beyond the ordinary limits of the capacity of the court.

As such the handwriting Expert in whose favour the party has executed a special power of attorney is entitled to cross examine the Handwriting Expert of opposite Party. Govind Narain Vs Choti Devi AIR 1966 Raj 170. Cross examination of a witness is acting and not pleading. Hence there is no objection in special cases for a expert being allowed under special power of attorney to be employed for the cross examination of another expert in the same line of business of other side.

In order to establish the identity of the paper, one the questioned as well as the others in the bank copy, from which questioned document is said to have been torn out, the colour, thickness, finish of surface, water mark, style, cutting, size, ruling, fluorescence have to be looked into. But it does not appears to be necessary that before the identity of two papers can be established, all the aforesaid things must be similar, even some of the things may enable the expert to give an opinion about the identity of two papers.             Questions as to whether the paper on which document is written has been torn out from a copy is an expert opinion, under Sec. 45  the opinion on that point of person specially skilled in such science is a relevant fact.

Harbans Kaur and another          ……Appellants                             Versus Surjan Singh                            ……Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA. Bahal Singh died on 10.8.1987. To prove the Will dated 4.6.1987, the plaintiffs have examined Bachan Singh, the attesting witness of the Will. PW2 is the scribe of the Will. Though the plaintiffs have examined Handwriting Expert as PW5, but his report is restricted in respect of the Will dated 17.6.1981 (Exhibit P.1) and Will dated 9.4.1986 (Exhibit D.1). On the other hand, the Will dated 9.4.1986 Exhibit D.1 is proved by examining Ramesh Kumar Chawla, document writer. PW2 Pritam Singh is the attesting witness, whereas DW5 Anil Kumar Gupta, compared thumb impressions of Bahal SiThus, there is only report of DW5-Anil Kumar Gupta, to the effect that Will dated 4.6.1987 is not proved to be executed. The finding recorded by the Courts below that the Will dated 4.6.1987 is not proved, is a finding of fact. It could not be pointed out that any evidence has been misread or not taken into consideration. Consequently, I do not find any patent illegality or material irregularity in the finding recorded or that the finding recorded gives rise to any substantial question of law in the present second appeal. Hence, the present appeal is dismissed.

Consequently, the present appeal having no merits is hereby dismissed with no orders as to costs.

A clever forger will try to give the forged signatures as much resemblance as possible of a genuine signature. But the personal characteristics of the signatures of the particular individual are often an unfailing guide to determine the genuineness of the signature/writing. It is often difficult work for forger to reproduce faithfully all such characteristics in the signature forged by him.

Mohali. As per the allegations of the complainant their cheque No. 031226 was stolen, its signatures were forged and it was presented before the Bank and payment was taken. To support his contention that the signatures on the cheque in question are not his signatures, he has examined CW-1 Mr. Anil Kumar Gupta, Hand Writing and Finger Print Expert, who in his report Ex. CW-1/1 has observed that signatures were Q-1 and Q-2 of disputed cheque revealed inconsistency in the writing characteristics coupled with line quality defects and after comparing the same with the standard signatures of Harchand Kumar S-1 to S-6 and RW-2/3, he has come to the opinion that the disputed signatures Q-1 and Q-2 are found to be different from the standard signatures S-1 to S-6 and RW-2/3; on the basis of finger movement, alignment, style of writing, line quality, pen pressure and shading, internal writing characteristics and as per that stated that the letter ‘h’, ‘a’, ‘r’, ‘c’, ‘h’, ‘a’, ‘n’, ‘d’, ‘k’, ‘u’, ‘m’, ‘a’, ‘r’ has been differently written in Q-1 and Q-2 as compared to be mark S-1 to S-6 and RW-2/3 and the difference is not merely on account of natural variations but on account of forgery of the signatures. In case we go through enlarged photographs of the signatures having record of Anil Kumar Gupta CW-1/11 and CW-1/12, there is a clear cut difference in writing ‘H’ in Q-1 than S-1 and S-3. Similarly, there is great difference in writing the word ”a’ in Q-1 then S-1 and S-3 because the mouth of the word ‘a’ in Q-1 is open as compared to S-1 and S-3. Similarly, in word ‘r’ there is a vovel in Q-1, which is missing in S-1 and S-3. Then there is apparent difference in writing vowel in ‘d’ in Q-1 as compared to S-1 and S-3. Further there is clear cut difference in writing word ‘K’ in Q-1 as compared to S-1 and S-3 so is in writing word ‘a’ & ‘r’ in Q-1 as compared to S-1 and S-2. Similar circumstances are appearing in case we examine Q-2 with S-4 and S-5 in chart CW-1/11, therefore, we are of the opinion that there is a apparent difference in the signatures on the disputed cheque as compared to the standard signatures of Harchand Kumar on the admitted documents, therefore, certainly, the signatures on the disputed cheque of Harchand Kumar are forged one. Therefore, keeping in view the latest judgment of the Hon’ble National Commission, we are of the opinion that there is negligence on the part of the employees of the opposite parties as they did not take proper care while passing the cheque and did not properly compare the signatures of the complainant with his standard signature in the current account, therefore, the complainant is entitled to compensation and costs. 21. No other point has been raised. 22. In view of the above discussion, the impugned order dated 28.12.2009 is set-aside. The appeal/complaint of the complainant is partly allowed. He is held entitled to recover Rs. 3 lacs from the opposite parties and litigation expenses of Rs. 15,000/-. The opposite parties/respondents are directed to make payment within a period of 30 days. 23. The arguments in this appeal were heard on 9.9.2013 and the order was reserved. Now the order be communicated to the parties as per rules. 24. The appellant had deposited an amount of Rs. 5,000/- with this Commission at the time of filing the appeal.

Jhanji, J. After hearing the learned counsel and going through the record, I do not find merit in the contention of the learned counsel for the plaintiff. In the plaint, plaintiff specifically alleged that the defendant procured decree by impersonation. It was averred that neither the plaintiff-thumb marked any plaint nor filed any suit nor engaged any counsel nor appeared in Court. Defendant, in order to prove that it was not a case of impersonation but the plaintiff himself had filed the suit, examined Anil Kumar Gupta, Document Expert and got compared the admitted thumb impressions of the plaintiff with the disputed thumb impressions on the plaint, application dated 7.6.1991 and the Vakalatnama. Anil Kumar Gupta, Expert vide his report opined that the disputed thumb impressions, Mark Q1 to Q4 and standard thumb impressions, Mark S1 and S2 are identical and affixed by one and the same person. Excepting the bald assertion of the plaintiff that he had not filed the suit or thumb marked the plaint or Vakalatnama, there is no evidence that some one else other than the plaintiff had filed the suit or thumb marked the application or the Vakalatnama. If at all, it was a case of impersonation, it was for the plaintiff to explain as to under what circumstances his thumb impressions came to be appended on the plaint, the application and the Vakalatnama. Plaintiff, as a matter of fact, has miserably failed to discharge the onus which heavily lay upon him.  Resultantly, the appeal fails. It is accordingly dismissed.

In this regard, the complainants examined Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting & Prints Expert, who tendered in evidence his affidavit Ex.CW1/A.

Punjab-Haryana High Court Hartej Singh vs Jagjit Singh on 3 March, 2020 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No. 5185 of 2019(O&M)             Date of decision: 3.3.2020 Hartej Singh                              …..Appellant                               VERSUS Jagjit Singh                              …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE REKHA MITTAL To prove his case, Jagjit Singh – plaintiff examined himself as PW-1, Ram Singh attesting witness PW-2, Satpal Bansal, scribe of the pronote and receipt PW-3 and Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Fingerprints Expert PW-4. 1 of 2 To rebut evidence of the respondent/plaintiff, appellant appeared in the witness box and examined Another  Handwriting and Fingerprints Expert. The Courts, on appreciation of materials on record, in the light of rival contentions raised by the parties, recorded a finding that pronote and receipt was executed by the appellant/defendant. Since both the parties have examined different experts to establish their contention raised in the pleadings and in absence of counsel for the appellant pointing out any material on record that report and testimony of  Another Expert invites primacy over testimony of Sh. Anil Kumar Gupta PW-4 and direct evidence led by the respondent/plaintiff, I find it difficult to intervene in concurrent findings recorded by the Courts based upon evidence on record. For the foregoing reasons, finding no merit, the appeal fails and is accordingly dismissed in limine.

Punjab-Haryana High Court Bhagirath vs Daya Nand on 29 January, 2019 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-12499-2018 (O&M)               Date of decision:29.01.2019 Bhagirath                                      …..Petitioner                                versus Daya Nand                                       ….Respondent CORAM: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kuldip Singh It comes out that in a complaint under Section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act, accused had taken a plea that the complainant has interpolated the figures of the year written in the cheque from 2013 to 2014. For this purpose, he examined the expert namely Anil Kumar Gupta. The 1 of 2 said expert was cross-examined by counsel for the complainant with the help of another expert. Now the complainant wants to examine said Handwriting Expert  in additional evidence. I am of the view that allegations are of interpolation of the year which could be visible to naked eye. Therefore, examination or cross- examination of expert by the complainant will be useless exercise. In case of interpolation of the year, the Court is always at liberty to examine the same independent of the opinion given by the expert to see whether there is any interpolation or not. Accordingly, petition is dismissed. However, trial Court shall always be at liberty to itself examine the documents to see whether there is an interpolation of the year or not.

The decree-holder has examined himself as DH-1 and one Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Finger Prints Expert as DH-2. The expert has opined that the signatures appearing on the alleged compromise are not that of the decree-holder. The executing Court has doubted the genuineness of the compromise in view of the fact that though the same was allegedly recorded during pendency of the execution, but still the same was not executed before the Court. [4]. In view of attending circumstances, I find no reason to differ with the observations made by the trial Court. This revision petition is accordingly dismissed.

JUSTICE RAJ MOHAN SINGH  P-5 Anil Kumar Gupta, handwriting and finger print expert also deposed in confirmation of due execution of Will as the disputed thumb impressions marked Q-1 to Q-3 were found identical with thumb impressions of Bhag Singh marked S-1 and S-2 being affixed by one and the same person. Similarly, he has also given the information that the disputed thumb impression mark S-1 and standard thumb impressions of Hazara Singh mark H-1 and H-2 are proved to be affixed by one and the same person. The witness has also given an information that the disputed signatures mark D-1 and D-2 and standard signatures of Jarnail Singh mark A-1 to A-3 are also similar in their writing characteristics and have been written by ANITA DEVI one and the same person. Since the plaintiff is not found to be in possession though, he has been declared to be owner as such, therefore, the plaintiff is held entitled to possession qua his share in the capacity of co-sharer and the defendants have been rightly restrained from creating any charge over the property in any manner. Consequently, the appeal filed by the appellant is found to be meritless. No substantial question of law is involved for consideration of this Court. The appeal is, consequently, dismissed.

CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH. Present:-   Mr. Jasbir Singh, Advocate for the appellant.                                 *** JASWANT SINGH, J. Plaintiff had further examined Anil Kumar Gupta (Handwriting and Finger Print Expert) who had proved on record his report Ex.PW-3/1 whereby it was mentioned that the thumb impression on the agreement to sell were of the defendant. In this scenario, I have no hesitation in holding that the agreement to sell is proved on record by the plaintiff and thus the onus had shifted upon defendant/appellant to prove the fact that the agreement to sell was not RSA No.1665 of 2012(O&M) #4# executed by him. This fact is further proved from the circumstance that in rebuttal to the report of the handwriting expert examined by the plaintiff, no handwriting expert has been examined by the defendant so as to prove the fact that the thumb impression did not belong to him. Hence, it can be safely presumed that the agreement to sell was executed by the defendant after fully knowing the contents of the same.

She has also stated that she did not examine the writing characteristic of the digit of the entry at mark Q-1 to Q-15 in this case. She has admitted to be correct that some of the entries examined by her are genuine according to her report.

She has also categorically admitted that is there is any addition on the right side, then there must be some addition or alteration on sum total present on the left side in the entries of bahi khata to make the balance correct.

Punjab-Haryana High Court Banarsi Dass vs Darshan Singh on 1 May, 2019 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH.

JUSTICE INDERJIT SINGH INDERJIT SINGH, J. In defence, accused examined DW-1 Anil Kumar Gupta, Finger Print Expert, DW-2 Manish Kumar, Clerk, Bank of India, Branch Faridkot, DW-3 Shalinder Singh, Auction Recorder, Market Committee Faridkot, DW-4 Amandeep Arora, Field Officer, Canara Bank, Branch Office, Faridkot, DW-5 Ravinder Kumar Singla, Auction Recorder, Market Committee, Sadiq, DW-6 Kuldeep Singh and DW-7 Parjinder Singh. It is settled law that presumption under Section 139 of the Negotiable Instruments Act can be rebutted by raising probable defence. In the present case, the accused has raised defence which is duly supported and corroborated by the defence evidence as well as case of the complainant. Firstly, DW-1 Anil Kumar Gupta, Finger Print Expert, has compared the handwriting of the body of the cheque and opined that it is not in the hands of the accused, which supports the defence version as it was a blank cheque which has been misused. In view of the above discussion, I find that the impugned judgment dated 05.08.2016 passed by learned JMIC, Faridkot, is correct, as per law and evidence and does not require any interference from this Court. No ground is made out for grant of leave to appeal and therefore, the present application stands dismissed.

Even in the lengthy cross-examination, nothing has come out, which would effect the veracity of the report given by said witness. No substantial question of law is involved in the present appeal. Therefore, finding no merit in the present appeal, the same stands dismissed. Since the main appeal stands dismissed, C.M. No. 9601 C of 2014 for staying the operation and execution of the impugned judgements and decree is also dismissed.

Vira Rani v. State of Rajasthan (Rajasthan) : Law Finder Doc Id # 644368RAJASTHAN HIGH COURTBefore:- Sandeep Mehta, J.S.B. Criminal Misc. Petition No. 2343 of 2014. D/d. 01.10.2014.Smt.

Rathi, Public Prosecutor.Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 Section 482 General Rules (Civil), Rule 181 – Petitioner aggrieved of order of rejection of application of handing for original agreement to sale for purpose of examination by forensic science laboratory – In criminal case, there is a specific allegation that the accused forged the document and then filed the same in the Civil Court, the original document has to be analyzed by the Hand writing Expert and the comparison of the signature/ thumb impression etc. has to be done by the expert for purpose of the ends of justice – Direction issued to civil court to hand over the original document to the police for investigation – Petition allowed.

IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH.                                                                 CM No.2006-C of 2014 in/and                                                                  RSA No.3821 of 2012 (O&M)                                                                   Date of decision: 17.02.2014 Bhola Singh                               —–Appellant(s)                              Vs. Leela Ram                                 —–Respondent(s) CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG The testimony of DW-1 could inspire confidence, if the same would have been corroborated by other evidence. At least, he should have examined some finger print expert to rebut the testimony of PW-4 Anil Kumar Gupta, handwriting and Finger Print Expert. If the plaintiff had obtained his signatures fraudulently on the agreement Ex.P1, in that event, it was required for the defendant to report the matter to the police, but he had not done so. His complacence and tacitness in this regard would candidly prove the execution of agreement Ex.P1 and receipt of imprest of Rs.1,25,000/- by the appellant from the respondent. So, the learned trial Court has rightly held that agreement to sell dated 4.1.2008 has been proved on record. Even otherwise, the stand taken by the appellant is not proved, as the agreement dated 4.1.2008 bears his signatures, whereas his own case is that the plaintiff had taken his thumb impression. Even PW-4 Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Finger Print Expert has proved his report, according to which, the disputed signatures of the appellant on the agreement in question tally with his standard signatures. Not only this, the appellant has even denied his signatures on the vakalatnama and the written statement. Thus, the conduct of the appellant itself shows his intentions. The findings have been recorded by the Courts below on appreciation of evidence and are duly supported from the evidence on record.

Punjab-Haryana High Court Ranjeet Kumar Alias Ranjeet Singh vs Arya Samaj on 7 September, 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CR No.6773 of 2009 (O&M)              Date of decision: 7.9.2011 Ranjeet Kumar alias Ranjeet Singh   …..Petitioner(s) Versus AryaSamaj,Jaitu                      ……Respondent(s) CR No.7831 of 2009 (O&M) CORAM:- HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR GARG He also deposed regarding the same documents Ex.A1 to Ex.A17, as proved by AW(1) Raj Paul Dod. Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Finger Prints Expert was examined as AW(3), who tendered into evidence his affidavit Ex.AW(3)/A. He also proved his report Ex.AW (3)/1 and negatives Ex.AW(3)/2 to Ex.AW(3)/11. He deposed that he examined and compared the disputed signatures alleged to be of Ranjeet Kumar appearing at mark Q1 on the writing dated 14.06.1995 and at mark Q2 on the rent receipt dated 17.01.1998, at mark Q3 on the rent receipt dated 24.4.1998, at mark Q4 on the rent receipt dated 15.6.1998, at mark Q5 on the rent receipt dated 21.7.1998 at mark Q6 on the rent receipt dated 15.9.1998, at mark Q7 on the rent receipt dated 12.1.1999 and at mark Q8 on the rent receipt dated 7.5.1999 with the standard signatures of Ranjeet Kumar appearing at mark R1 on the Vakalatnama and mark R2 on the service of the summons. In his opinion, the disputed signatures marks Q1 to Q8 and standard signatures of Ranjeet Kumar mark R1 and R2 are similar in their writing characteristics and have been written by one and the same person. Even before this Court, the respondent has produced the original carbon copies/counter foils of the said receipts. Therefore, no exception can be taken regarding the admissibility of these receipts before this Court. In view of the said findings, judgments in Charan Singh’s case (supra) and Karnail Singh’ case (supra) relied upon by the learned counsel for the petitioner are of no help to him. No other point is urged. No merits. Both the revision petitions are dismissed

Dewan and N.S. Bhatia, Advocates. For the Respondent :- Mr. Parkash Chand Jain and G.C. Mittal, Advocates. A. Finger-print expert – Evidence of – Evidentiary value – Issue regarding the validity of a document which purports to bear thumb impressions of an executant when those thumb impressions are denied – Evidence of thumb impression expert bound to be of great value – Science of finger-print more exact than that relating to hand-writing – Cases of comparison of finger-prints – Points of similarity and difference easily discernible – Courts must apply their mind properly to the evidence of experts in such cases. B. Evidence – Approbation and reprobation – Trial Court letting in a certified copy of the previous deposition of a witness made in the criminal proceedings – Allowing the same to be proved by himself – Procedure not correct – He should have been examined again in regard to all that he had stated earlier in the statement made by him in the committing Court – Parties themselves allowing certain statements to be placed on the record as a part of their evidence – Cannot urge later either in the same Court or in a Court of appeal that the evidence produced was inadmissible – To allow them to do so would indeed be permitting them both to approbate and reprobate.

Punjab-Haryana High Court Amrik Singh vs M/S Hind Iron Store on 20 September, 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No.2592 of 2010 (O&M)           Date of decision : 20.9.2011                              … Amrik Singh                            …………….Appellant                               vs. M/s Hind Iron Store                  ……………..Respondent Coram: Hon’ble Mr. Justice K.C. Puri The plaintiff in order to prove his case, appeared as PW-1 and also examined PW-2 Anil Kumar Gupta, Finger Print and Handwriting Expert. I have given my thoughtful consideration to the submissions made by counsel for the appellant and have also gone through the case file. The sole controversy in the present lis revolves around the receipt of 250 bags of cement by defendant-appellant and issuance of receipt by the defendant. To prove the said fact, plaintiff has appeared as his own witness and he also examined hand writing expert. The bill Exhibit P-1 alongwith entries in the accounts book Exhibits P-3 and P-4 have been placed on the file. Besides this, notice Exhibit P-5, postal receipt Exhibit P-6 and acknowledgment Exhibit P-7 have been placed on the file. In rebuttal, the defendant-appellant has suffered a self serving statement and has not led any evidence. Both the Courts below gave a concurrent finding of fact that the plaintiff has been able to prove that 250 bags of cement were supplied to the defendant under the bill Exhibit P-1, which was acknowledged vide receipt Exhibit P-2. The plaintiff has also proved the said fact by proving the account books. The legal notice was served upon the defendant, which was duly received as per acknowledgment Exhibit P-7. No reply has been sent. So, in these circumstances, the concurrent finding of fact recorded by both the Courts below regarding the execution of the receipt Exhibit P-2 and supplying the bags of cement does not call for any interference. The appellant has simply challenged the factual aspect in the regular second appeal and that cannot be allowed in view of Section 100 CPC. Both the Courts below have discussed each and every aspect of the case argued before them. There is nothing on the file that judgments of both the Courts below is a result of mis- reading and mis-interpreting of evidence on the file. In view of the above discussion, the substantial questions of law raised by the appellant stands determined against him. Consequently, the appeal is without any merit and the same stands dismissed.

(Very important being related to forgery over already exiting thumb impression/signature as sometime documents are prepared by writing body writings lateron above the already existing thumb impressions/signatures obtained on a blank paper and the body writing show material inconsistency and in the said case report was given by Anil Kumar Gupta by giving observations that the bodywritings are showing material inconsistency showing that body writing is written lateron above the already existing thumb impression/signatures) Punjab-Haryana High Court Sona Singh Etc vs Kakka Singh Etc on 25 March, 2019 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh RSA No. 1344 of 2002(O&M)             Date of Decision:25.3.2019 Sona Singh @ Santa Singh and others              —Appellants                                  vs. Kakka Singh and others                            —Respondents RSA No. 2056 of 2002(O&M) Kakka Singh and others                             —Appellants                                  vs. Sona Singh @ Santa Singh and others               —Respondents RSA No. 1422 of 2011(O&M) Santa Singh @ Sona and others                      —Appellants                                  vs. Kakka Singh                                        —Respondent Coram:     Hon’ble Mrs. Justice Rekha Mittal                     To rebut evidence of the plaintiffs, one of the legal 4 of 20 representatives of defendant No. 5 appeared in the witness box and they examined Gurukaran Sher Singh Sodhi DW2, Joginder Singh DW3, Narinder Kumar Deed Writer DW4, scribe of Will dated 25.1.1990 Balbir Chand DW5 Senior Clerk from office of Financial Commissioner, Punjab S.P.Kamboj DW6 and Anil Kumar Gupta, Forensic Expert DW7.                     Perusal of recitals in the Will would reveal that the Will was executed on account of the testator being satisfied with the services of his wife and to compensate her for the same. This recital in the Will gets falsified and belied in view of statement of Sona Singh @ Santa Singh plaintiff No. 1 as he stated in his cross examination that Labh Singh and Matto Bai had been maintaining separate residence. The appellate Court, on a detailed consideration of various circumstances highlighted by counsel 11 of 20 for the respondents therein, has rightly reversed findings of the trial court in respect of Will dated 14.10.1978. Counsel for the appellants has failed to advance any argument much less meaningful to convince this Court that circumstances noticed by the Appellate court are either not material and relevant or have not been rightly appreciated in the light of materials on record. In this view of the matter, findings of the Appellate Court in respect of Will dated 14.10.1978 need affirmation and ordered accordingly.                     On examination of the Will with naked eye, it is sufficiently clear that space in the upper 8 or 9 lines is more as compared to the next 14 of 20 lower 8 or 9 lines. The space in the last four lines is too less as compared to the upper portion. Had this document been typed in a normal and natural course, spacing between the lines would have been uniform and not inconsistent as is visible in the disputed Will. There was no need for the typist to decrease or change spacing between the lines had the thumb impression been not present prior to body writing. The Will has been typed in an abnormal and unnatural course. Not only this, the position of thumb impression on the first page of the Will is not below name of the executant whereas the thumb impressions of the alleged attesting witness are below their names and particulars. Above all, it has been mentioned in the last line that in the presence of witnesses and after hearing and understanding, left thumb impression has been affixed. If the executant had affixed the thumb impression after completion of body writing of the Will and the same was read over and understood by the testator, there was no occasion for the scribe/typist to mention that left thumb impression has been affixed after hearing and understanding the contents in the presence of attesting witnesses. Irregular spacing between the lines, the position of thumb impression of the alleged testator when examined in the light of there being no explanation as to why the Will not got registered on 25.1.1990 if testator alongwith attesting witnesses was present in Tehsil Office on that date, goes a long way to conclude that the testator was not present on 25.1.1990 and this Will has been prepared on blank thumb impressions already existing on the paper used for preparing the Will. Neither the Appellate Court nor the trial court has examined the aspect of difference of dates of execution and registration from the aforesaid point of view.                     In view of what has been discussed hereinbefore, RSA Nos. 1344 of 2002 and 1422 of 2011 are dismissed. On the other hand, RSA No. 2056 of 2002 is allowed in the aforesaid terms, leaving the parties to bear their own costs.

Raman Kumar & Ors.                                   Respondents BEFORE: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE A.N.JINDAL The defendant appears to have examined , DW 2 Handwriting and Finger Prints Expert, in order to counter the earlier report of PW 6 Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting & Finger Prints Expert, who is an expert of repute suggesting no allegations against him. Even otherwise, the defendant has failed to rebut the oral evidence of the plaintiffs, scribe and the witnesses, in whose presence the document was scribed and he had signed the same. Writing Ex.P2 and P.3 dated 2.4.1998 and 2.4.1999 cannot be false and fabricated one because as per record suit was filed on 8.11.2000 on the basis of the agreement dated 5.4.1997. Stipulated date for execution of the sale deed was 3.4.1998. Suit having been filed within three years from the stipulated date was within limitation and there was no need to make a repeated writing for extension of time. As such the plaintiffs cannot be said to have any intention to forge the entries to bring the suit within limitation. Consequently, the plea, that the entries were forged on the document, is proved to be incorrect. Since both the courts below have already given relief with regard to alternative relief for recovery of the amount, therefore, it would not be proper to further lessen the same. No substantial question of law arises in this appeal for determination of this court. Dismissed.

REPORT OF ANIL KUMAR GUPTA HANDWRITING EXPERT HAS BEEN PREFERRED OVER REPORT OF STATE FORENSIC SCIENCE LAB RAJASTHAN AS REPORT OF ANIL KUMAR GUPTA CONTAINS DETAILED REASONS AND THERE ARE NO REASON GIVEN IN THE REPORT OF FORENSIC SCIENCE LAB (FSL). Rajasthan High Court Atma Ram vs State Of Rajasthan And Anr. on 20 January, 1999 Equivalent citations: 1999 CriLJ 4274 Author: G Gupta Bench: G Gupta ORDER G.L. Gupta, J. Mr. Shishodia contended that by the opinion of the F.S.L. it is not borne out that the letter was written by the deceased. In my opinion, at this stage, on the basis of the report of the F.S.L. it cannot be accepted that the letter in which the allegation of cruelty soon before the death of Vijay Laxmi is mentioned, was not written by the accused. There is also the report of handwriting expert               Shri Anil Kumar Gupta on record. It is a detailed report containing various points. It has been opined that the writing of the letter tallied with the specimen writings of the deceased. It is obvious, there are two opposite opinions on record; one favouring the accused and the other against him.      As the report of Anil Kumar Gupta contains reasonings and there are no reasons given in the report of F.S.L., at this stage, the report of Anil Kumar Gupta has to be preferred. Mahendra Singh also says that the letter dt. 12-8-1993 was written by his daughter. That being so, on the basis of the report of the F.S.L. at this stage, it cannot be said that the letter dt. 12-8-1993 was not written by the deceased. Consequently, there is no merit in the Revision Petition No. 126/98 and Misc. Petition No. 51 /98 filed by Atma Ram and they are hereby dismissed. The Revision Petition No. 281/98 preferred by Mahendra Singh is also dismissed.

Punjab-Haryana High Court Harbhajan Singh vs Joginder Singh And Ors on 14 May, 2019 RSA No. 5197 of 2012                                 In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh.                             Date of Decision: May 14th , 2019  Harbhajan Singh                                 —Appellant                                  vs. Joginder Singh and others                       —Respondents RSA No. 2477 of 2013(O&M) Harbhajan Singh                                   —Appellant                                  vs. Dial Singh and others                            —Respondents Coram:   Hon’ble Mrs. Justice Rekha Mittal The appellate court, in para 11 of the judgment, has referred to testimony of Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Finger Prints Expert PW3 and noticed the opinion/observations made by him to conclude that on detailed examination and comparison, he is of the opinion that thumb impressions Mark Q1 to Q3 on the sale deed Ex. D3 do not tally with specimen thumb impressions Mark L1 to L3 and mark R1 to R3. In the later part of the judgment, there is not even a whisper with regard to testimony of Anil Kumar Gupta or the reasons that weighed in the mind of Appellate Court to discard the report and testimony of Sh. Anil Kumar Gupta. There cannot be dispute about settled position in law that science of finger prints comparison is a perfect science and as such testimony of an expert witness can be relied upon unless there are valid and legal reasons to reject the comparison and opinion made by the expert. In the case at hand, the contesting defendants did not avail services of another expert to counter/rebut the report prepared by Sh. Anil Kumar Gupta meaning thereby that report prepared by Sh.Anil Kumar Gupta remains unrebutted and unchallenged.

Punjab-Haryana High Court Nathu Ram vs Charano @ Charanjit Kaur And Ors on 10 August, 2017 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. SAO No.47 of 2014 (O&M)             Date of Decision: 10.08.2017 Nathu Ram                                     …..Appellant       Vs Charano @ Charanjit Kaur and ors                                               ….Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJ MOHAN SINGH The trial Court further held that the Handwriting Expert further gave the opinion that thumb impression at Mark Q1 on interim order dated 31.10.1992 differ from the thumb impression at Mark Q2 to Q6. Therefore, as per the opinion of the Handwriting Expert even in the case titled as Nathu Ram vs. Charno, two different person on two different occasion were impersonated as Charno in the Court. The trial Court on the aforesaid parameters, dismissed the suit vide the judgment and decree dated 01.10.2011. Feeling aggrieved against the same, an appeal was filed before the lower Appellate Court. [5]. The lower Appellate Court held that though the plaintiff had examined PW-2 Sh. Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Fingerprint Expert, who opined that the disputed signature on written statement does not tally with the admitted signatures/standard signatures of Charano. In such like circumstances, Sh. Amar Singh Bhullar, Advocate who is a material witness can identify the plaintiff in order to dispel any suspicion and can also prove the allegations of the plaintiff. Since Sh. Amar Singh Bhullar, Advocate has not been examined, therefore, the application under Order 41 Rule 27 read with Section 151 CPC for grant of permission to lead additional evidence was allowed in order to enable the Court to pronounce the judgment effectively. The application was allowed 4 of 7 for substantial cause. The satisfaction was recorded by the lower Appellate Court that the additional evidence so prayed by the appellant would enable the Court to pronounce the judgment and is necessary for advancing the substantial cause of justice. [6]. Learned counsel for the appellant vehemently contended that the plaintiff did not lead any evidence in affirmative so as to dispel the alleged cloud on the decree dated 12.03.1993. Issue No.7-A specifically was wide enough to cover the issue of alleged decree being fraudulent. Once the plaintiff did not lead any evidence in affirmative, she was not entitled to lead any additional evidence at appellate stage as she was not entitled to fill lacuna in the present case. Learned counsel relied upon Youdhister vs. Siri Ram and others, 1996(3) R.C.R. (Civil) 706. [7]. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. [8]. PW-2 Sh. Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Fingerprint Expert has given his opinion to the following effect:- “The disputed thumb impression Mark Q1 is different from the other disputed thumb impressions Mark-Q2 to Q6. The disputed thumb impressions Mark-Q1 to Q-6 are different from the standard/specimen thumb impressions of Charno Mark R1 to R5 (R.T.I.) & L1, L2 (L.T.I.) i.e. disputed thumb impressions Mark-Q1 to Q6 are not affixed by the ladies, who affixed specimen thumb impressions Mark R1 to R5 5 of 7 (R.T.I.) & L1, L2 (L.T.I.).”

(THIS JUDGEMENT RELATES TO CASE OF FRAUDULENT ADDITION/ALTERATION) Punjab-Haryana High Court Saraj Singh @ Bittu Diary Wala vs Kewal Krishan on 28 September, 2017 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH.              CRR 3906-2016 (O&M)                 Date of decision: 28.09.2017 Saraj Singh @ Bittu Diary Wala             …..Petitioner                                     versus Kewal Krishan                               ……Respondent CORAM: Hon’ble Mr.Justice Kuldip Singh In addition to the going through the report of the Handwriting and Finger Prints Expert, I have myself gone through the disputed cheque. A perusal of the cheque shows that the date on the cheque is with a different ink. The name of the drawee complainant and the amount mentioned in the words is with the same handwriting. The signatures of the accused are in the same ink which was used for filling the date on the cheque. It is clear to the naked eyes that before the digits 40,000/-, digit ‘1’ has been added with a slightly different ink. There was no reason for the lower Court to discard the opinion of the expert, particularly, when the said addition is visible to the naked eyes. In this case, there was no requirement to take the specimen handwriting of anybody, since the addition is of one stroke which is not comparable by taking specimen handwriting of anybody. The reasoning given by Shri Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Finger Prints Expert is quite convincing. Therefore, it has to be held that before digits 40,000/-, in the amount box of the cheque, digit ‘1’ was added later on.

Criminal Appeal No.1731-SB of 2003                           IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Appeal No.1731-SB of 2003        Decided on 9 .12.2009. Raghu Nath Bansal                          …… Appellant. Versus State of Punjab                             …. Respondent. CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE K.C. PURI Present :-   Mr. J.S.Brar, Advocate for the appellant.              Mr. Sudhir Nehra, Addl.A.G, Punjab. When asked to enter upon his defence, he produced Anil Kumar Gupta Handwriting and Finger Prints Expert, Fazilka (DW-1), Sadhu Ram (DW-2), Harpal Singh, Revenue Accountant (DW-3) and Balraj (DW-4), Krishan Lal Narang (DW-5), Constable Joginder Singh (DW-6), Jag Singh LDC, PSEB, Sub Division, Doda (DW-7). In the present case, the charge framed against the appellant is that he demanded and accepted illegal gratification for changing and releasing electricity connection in the name of Malkiat Singh from the name of his father Joginder Singh. However, the evidence led by the prosecution does not support the said fact but was in respect of change of the dead meter only. Ex.PA is the basis of the prosecution in which Joginder Singh through Malkiat Singh had made a request that meter at their premises to be changed as it was lying dead. No request has been made in this application that meter be changed in the name of Malkiat Singh from the original consumer Joginder Singh, his father. No doubt, the charge can be amended at any stage but in view of the above circumstances discussed above, it would not be inconsonance of justice to amend the charge after period of fifteen years and in view of the evidence produced by the prosecution. In view of the above discussion the appeal stands allowed and the impugned judgment of the learned trial Court stands set aside and the accused stands acquitted by giving him benefit of doubt. A copy of this judgment be sent to the trial Court for strict compliance.

Punjab-Haryana High Court Kailash Chand vs M/S Mangaliawala Traders on 3 January, 2012 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No.: R.S.A.No.3 of 2012  Date of Decision : 03.01.2012             Kailash Chand                  ….   Appellant                                 Vs.             M/s Mangaliawala Traders       ….   Respondent * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : I have heard learned counsel for the appellant and perused the case file. Plaintiff’s Proprietor Subhash Chand himself appeared in the witness-box as PW-1 and examined Handwriting Expert Anil Kumar Gupta as PW-2 and also examined plaintiff’s Accountant Ram Niwas as PW-4. Plaintiff and Ram Niwas broadly stated according to the plaint allegations. Anil Kumar Gupta – handwriting expert reported that the disputed bahi entries bear signatures of the defendant. I have carefully considered the aforesaid contentions, but find myself unable to accept the same. Plaintiff has led cogent and sufficient evidence to prove its case. The plaintiff’s Proprietor himself appeared in the witness-box and examined his Accountant, who had authored the disputed bahi entries. Both of them have proved the said bahi entries bearing signatures of the defendant and also proved advancement of different amounts, as pleaded in the plaint. Their statements are also corroborated by handwriting expert Anil Kumar Gupta (PW-2). On the other hand, there is self serving oral statement of the defendant, which is not sufficient to rebut the plaintiff’s cogent evidence.

Punjab-Haryana High Court M/S Ramji Dass Kishore Chand vs Kamardeep on 3 November, 2008       IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA                    AT CHANDIGARH R.S.A. No.3286 of 2006               Date of Decision:03.11.2008 M/s Ramji Dass Kishore Chand, Commission Agents, Malout                                                   …..Appellant              Vs. Kamardeep                                        …..Respondent CORAM:- HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE HARBANS LAL Present:-    Mr. Ashok Singla, Advocate for the appellant.  On the other hand, the plaintiff- firm has examined the document expert Mr. Anil Kumar Gupta, PW1 who has opined that the disputed writing and signatures at Mark Q.1, Q.2 and standard signatures Mark S.1 to S.3, specimen writings Mark A.1 to A.10 of Kamardeep are similar in their writing characteristics and have been written by one and the same person. A careful delving into Ex.P.1 would reveal that in this entry, the amount has not been mentioned only at one place rather at two places. The amount mentioned in landa script in the beginning of this entry is also Rs.1,57,000/-. There is no overwriting or cutting worth the name in this amount. There is an interesting feature in this case. The case of the plaintiff- firm is that a sum of Rs.1,57,000/- was advanced by it to the defendant, whereas the defendant admitted that he had raised a loan of Rs.10,700/-. On counting the digits of the figure Rs.1,57,000/-, these work out to 6 whereas that of Rs.10,700/- comes to 5. To add further to it, in Ex.P.2 the relevant entry in Pakka Rokar, Ex.P.3 the attested copy of Khata (ledger) for the year 2000-01, Ex.P.4 attested copy of relevant entry in the Khata for the year 2001-2002, the notice Ex.P.5 served upon the defendant, the amount has been mentioned as Rs.1,57,000/-. One more zero was also required to be added to convert 10,700 into 1,57,000. There are no allegations that zero has been added later on. In the ultimate analysis, it boils down that the defendant’s plea that he had taken a loan of Rs.10,700/- only is unacceptable. The entries in Ex.P.1 cannot be read or assessed in isolation of entries in Ex.P.3 to Ex.P.5, Ex.P.X and the expert’s report Ex.PW2/1. The learned Appellate Court has erred in not taking into account this documentary evidence. Consequently, this appeal succeeds and is accepted modifying the impugned judgment decree dated 24.5.2006 and restore the judgment/ decree dated 11.8.2005 passed by the learned trial Court in its entirety.

JUSTICE RAMESHWAR SINGH MALIK However, defendants have examined Anil Kumar Gupta (DW-5) as Handwriting and Fingerprint Expert, who compared and examined the disputed signatures of Gurmit Singh, Naib Tehsildar appearing on affidavit Ex.P2, with his standard admitted signatures. This expert witness submitted his report and stated that the disputed signatures were not similar in writing characteristic with the standard signatures. He further opined that the disputed signatures were not by the same person who has put the standard admitted signatures. It has been amply proved on record by way of overwhelming and well convincing evidence produced by the defendants-respondents, that it was only the defendants who were always ready and willing to perform their part of contract. The plaintiff was never ready and willing to perform his part of contract, while trying to over reach the court and withheld the best evidence available to him. Further, there was expert opinion against him. Although, expert report proved by DW5 as Handwriting and Fingerprint Expert would not be a conclusive proof in itself, yet when it is examined and appreciated in the context of attending circumstances of the case, it becomes clear that the plaintiff has unsuccessfully tried to play smart, to show that he was ready and willing to perform his part of contract. However, the plaintiff failed to prove his case in this regard.

He also proved photocopy of agreement, questioned signatures and thumb impressions as well as standard/specimen signatures and thumb impressions, as detailed in his reports.

JUSTICE PARAMJEET SINGH I have considered the contention raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. Admittedly, the petitioner – defendants have closed their evidence and have also examined Anil Kumar Gupta, Handwriting and Finger Print Expert as DW1. Respondent No.1-plaintiff want to examine Kumar Virender 2013.09.20 17:55 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document High Court, Chandigarh Sh.

Therefore, objections to the examination of expert witness are misconceived.

Forensic Dna Expert: DNA is the profiling being the essential evidence used by Forensic Experts in Paternity Disputes. DNA Evidence is based upon its examination in the structure and function and extraction of the DNA material from the parts of the body of human used for Forensic Analysis in the Crime Investigation. DNA is the genetic material present in the cells of all living organism which require examination of structure by collecting DNA sample from the source, extracting the same and used as Forensic Evidence to link the person with the crime. DNA is the most technical advanced system used in Forensic Investigation having short tandem repeat analysis with mitochondrial DNA Analysis,     Anil Gupta Forensic Service – Forensic Dna Expert: Y-Chromosome Analysis, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism typing. The DNA Sample in Forensic Analysis can be collected from blood, saliva, perspiration, hair, teeth, mucus, finger nails, semon and these can be found almost anywhere at crime scence. Some examples of places in Forensic Investigation where DNA evidence may be found include Cigarettes, cloths, stamps, bite marks, weapons, cups, tissues and these should be collected for Forensic investigation by bearing gloves, avoiding coughing or sneezing on the DNA Evidence, preventing the storage of DNA Forensic Evidence in direct sunlight or a warm setting. Using paper bags or envelop for storage and not plastic bags. DNA Forensic profiling is used in the criminal investigation with the help of Law enforcement agencies and forensic DNA profiling is highly accurate as long as the evidence is not contaminated. Many of the Forensic DNA Samples go into the combined DNA index system, in national DNA Data base molecules of Forensic DNA is one long chain made up of four different molecules named as cytosine, adenine, thymine, guanine. These molecules make pairs and DNA in human cell has 23 pairs, where one pair comes from the mother of the person in consideration and the other comes from the father, every Forensic DNA is unique except for identical Twins. Forensic Dna Expert: Forensic DNA stands for Deoxynbonucleic acid and it is usually an acid that contains genes that helping living organism in the development and functions. The use of Forensic DNA was first developed by Alac Jeffrey in year 1984 and in 1988 the Forensic DNA Crime Solving Technology was used to solved the murder case committed by colim pitch. Forensic Dna Expert: Collection of DNA sample from a crime scence is the first step in Forensic DNA System which is followed by creating a Forensic DNA profile regarding this sample and the last step is the collection of samples from suspect for Forensic DNA profiling which may lead to conviction of innocent citizens, however despite these disadvantages the technology is still helpful in solving crimes even solving the old cases which were previously remains unsolved. Geographically mapping system GIS is another technology alongwith Forensic DNA system. Forensic DNA technology is the technology of justice and utility of Forensic DNA evidence is powerful tool in criminal investigation. The service of criminal justice system often uses scientific expert and Forensic DNA investigation. Every court of Law has discretionary power to refute Forensic DNA evidence obtained in situations. Forensic Dna Expert: The reports of certain Govt. Scientific Experts are dealt U/s 293 of the code of Criminal procedure. Peoples have an expectations of Privacy in respect to the contents of their DNA Forensic Sample regardless of where it has been obtained or acquired. The issue arises when Forensic DNA of an individual analyse beyond the identification purpose. Evolution of Forensic DNA Technology is having a major impact on LAW as they have or are being amended in many legislation worldwide. Enactment of LAW regarding the collection, use, storage, admissibility and creation of Forensic DNA Database for DNA evidence reflects the impact of Forensic DNA technology on Criminal Justice System, however Forensic DNA evidence is a powerful and reliable tool which an establish the truth with accuracy regardless decades after the crime was committed.

Forensic Scientists also work on developing new techniques and procedures for the collection and analysis of evidence. Positive Forensic DNA report can be of great significance where there is supporting evidence depending of course on the strength and quality of that evidence. But if Forensic DNA report is negative it would conclusively Exonerate the accused from the involvement of charge. The positive Forensic DNA report could not be therefore be accepted by the trial court in isolation. Forensic DNA testing can make a virtually positive identification when the two sample match. It exonerates the innocent and help to convict the guilty. The Forensic DNA test is a clinching piece of evidence which would show that it is the accused and the accused alone who committed rape on the victim. The possibility of two persons except identification of Twins having same Forensic DNA Finger Print is around in 30 Billion word population. It means that Forensic DNA test gives the perfect identity. It is very advanced science. Though there is no specific Forensic DNA Legislation enacted in India, section 53 & 54  of the code of Criminal Procedure 1973 provides for DNA test impliedly and they are extensively used in determining complex criminal problems. Forensic DNA testing on samples such as saliva, skin, blood, hair or semon not only help to convict but also serve to exonerate an accused. A National Forensic DNA database should be credited which will be immensely helpful in the fight against terrorism. More well equipped laboratories should be established to handle DNA samples. The great Forensic wars over admissibility are over. The importance of Forensic DNA has been discussed in various articles of Law universities. Two

A neutral third party collects the DNA samples and submits it to the court. The third party that collects the samples of DNA is the authority to confirm the identity of the donor and make sure the custody rules. The court only accepts the DNA samples of a person only authorized by the authority in case of legal proceedings.

AGE OF SIGNATURE/INK : According to science of handwriting examination, there occur changes in the writing/signatures of the same persons with the passage of time and some changes become consistent and permanent with specific period of the time, depend upon writer to writer and conditions thereon as per Anil Gupta Forensic Services. Many writers, particularly those who write well and freely, are from time to time making slight but persistent changes in their handwriting. These changes are usually few in number compared with all the characteristics of the writing and do not change the general style, but often are sufficient, with adequate material for comparison, to show conclusively that a writing was made before or after a certain definite time. An interval of five years or even less, under certain health or changed business conditions, may show a number of permanent and significant changes. Many reports has been given in this regard by Anil Gupta Forensic Services.     An entirely new approach was made in a case, where date of signature on a typed letter dt.17th Jan, 1992 was in question. Earlier to know the age of the signature, age of document was determined by ink, paper, printing and subject matter examination. But the present study was carried out with the aim of postulating the changes that occurs in a person’s signature with the passage of time. A detailed analysis of 61 signature specimens dt.13/02/1992 to 26/11/1999 of the person carried out. The examination showed a clear variation in the signatures with due course of time as natural variations. Using these variations the age of the signature was determined and reported. The honourable court accepted the examiner’s report and acquitted the suspect. AGE OF SIGNATURE/INK: Now many cases has been received by Anil Gupta Forensic Services relating to determination of age of signatures and opinion in many cases has been given by taking proper standard signatures from the bank record by summoning the same in the Hon’ble Court or from the Income Tax returns by summoning the record of the concerned Chartered Accountant or by examining the successive J-Forms and other relevant records available in a proper manner pertaining to case in hand. Many cases has been examined carefully and reports have been submitted and also appeared for evidence in the court regarding to determination of age of the signatures on the behalf of Anil Gupta Forensic Services and more study is also made and continuous to be made in this regard from the cases received by Anil Gupta Forensic Services for the determination of the age of the signature.   The examination of the ink with regard to determination of the age of the signature is correlated with each other. The inks may be printing ink, coping ink. Sometime chemical and other ink tests are required for the identification of the age of the document. Microscopic examination of the ink is also required for the determination of the age relating to ink problem and case in hand. Composition of the ink is any important factor in this regard.   AGE OF SIGNATURE/INK According to Anil Gupta Forensic Services in establishing or disproving the genuineness of the disputed document there are great many questions according to ink. It is possible to determine in most instances the identity or differences, the relative age and sequence of ink writings. A great variety of question on the subject of ink can be answered definitely and are of proven value as evidence.   The age of the signature/ink according to Anil Gupta Forensic Services can be determined on the composition of the ink as examination of ink and its importance may be a determining factor in some cases concerning the validity or invalidity of a document. It is therefore important to be familiar at least with the major types of the ink their composition ad basic characteristics to the extent to which these facts may have significance for the document condition. As ink manufacturing improved from time to time, examination of these inks required the development of new techniques to identify or differentiate one kind from another with respect to determination of the age. There are wide variations in the quality, composition and manufacture of different inks in spite of possible similarity in the method of preparation. Writing inks consists of coloring matter dissolved in matter in low concentration. In addition to the color other ingredients are added to modify the properties of solution.   AGE OF SIGNATURE/INK: The ancient writing ink used as papyrus and vellum were made of several kinds of carbon lamp black and gum dissolved in water used on papyrus and vellum were made of several kinds of carbon lamp black and gum dissolved in water.   Chinese ink is made from shoot, lamp black and glue and other ingredients. Indian ink is a true black ink that has no tinge of some other hue. It is free from die and contains carbon as a pigment. Since it is very thick and heavy, it is not used for ordinary writing, except by artist or draftsmen, mostly on special paper with a special pen. It is indelible and cannot be removed chemically.   AGE OF SIGNATURE/INK: Iron gallo-tannate inks, the earlier known date for the combination of iron and tannin to make writing inks, is merely 2000 years after the invention of india ink. The most important raw material the gallo tannin acid is made from gall nuts obtained from the oak trees of Asia Minor. The old fashioned iron tannate inks which contains iron and tannate showed various definite changes after days, or months and especially after several years due to oxidation. The reaction of oxygen on iron and tannin in the ink expose to air, when farric salt is used, which is brown causes the ink to become faded or yellowish commonly known as rusted as weeks, months or years pass, depending on condition of exposure to light or dark. The modern permanent black or blue black

Supreme Court of India Prem Sagar Manocha vs State (Nct Of Delhi) on 6 January, 2016 Bench: T.S. Thakur, Kurian Joseph                                    IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA.                 CRIMINAL  APPELLATE  JURISDICTION                 CRIMINAL APPEAL NOS. 9-10  OF 2016             (Arising from S.L.P. (Criminal) Nos. 7153-7154/2013) PREM SAGAR MANOCHA                           … APPELLANT (S)                                    VERSUS STATE (NCT OF DELHI)                         … RESPONDENT (S)                                J U D G M E N T KURIAN, J.: Hence, merely because an expert has tendered an opinion while also furnishing the basis of the opinion and that too without being conclusive and definite, it cannot be said that he has committed perjury so as to help somebody. And, mere rejection of the expert evidence by itself may not also warrant initiation of proceedings under Section 340 of CrPC. It is significant to note that the appellant’s opinion that the cartridges appeared to have been fired from different firearms was based on the court’s insistence to give the opinion without examining the firearm. In other words, it was not even his voluntary, let alone deliberate deposition, before the court. Therefore, it is unjust, if not unfair, to attribute any motive to the appellant that there was a somersault from his original stand in the written opinion. As a matter of fact, even in the written opinion, appellant has clearly stated that a definite opinion in such a situation could be formed only with the examination of the suspected firearm, which we have already extracted in the beginning. Thus and therefore, there is no somersault or shift in the stand taken by the appellant in the oral examination before court. The impugned proceedings initiated against the appellant under Section 340 of CrPC are hence quashed. The appeals are allowed. .…….…..…………CJI.                                                (T. S. THAKUR) ….……………………J.     (KURIAN JOSEPH) New Delhi; January 6, 2016. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case titled as Ramesh Chandra Agarwal v/s Regency Hospital Ltd. has broadly dealt and interpreted the scenario and held that, an expert is a person who devotes his time and study to a special branch of learning. However, he might have acquired such knowledge by practice, observation or careful study. The expert is not acting as a judge or jury. It was further held that in order to bring the evidence of a witness, as that of an expert, it has to be shown that he has made a special study of the subject or acquired a special experience therein or in other words that he is skilled and has adequate knowledge of the subject. The real function of the expert is to put before the Court all the materials, together with reasons which induce him to come to the conclusion, so that the Court, although not an expert, may form its own judgment by its own observation of those materials. An expert is not a witness of fact (like other witnesses) and his evidence is really of an advisory character. The duty of the expert witness is to furnish the Judge with the necessary scientific criteria for testing the accuracy of the conclusions so as to enable the Judge to form his independent judgment by the application of these criteria. No expert can claim that he could be absolutely sure that his opinion was correct

REPORTS UP HELD BY HON’BLE COURTS IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA NO.4320 OF 2005 Date of Decision 11-09-2007 Bholi Vs Krishna & others By the Hon’ble Mr. Justice Hemant Gupta The Plaintiffs have examined PW3 Sh. Anil Kumar Gupta, Qualified Handwriting and Finger Print Expert, Fazilka . He has deposited that the thumb impressions on the written statement dt.19-07-1988, vakalatnama dt.19-07-1988 and statement dt.19-07-1988 in civil suit no.83 dt.17-02-1988 titled Smt. Bholi and Krishna etc. are not identical with the specimen, admitted and proved thumb impressions of the plaintiff. His report is Ex-P3 and enlarged photographs are Ex-P4 to Ex-P10. The Learned First Appellate Court has considered the report of DW-1 Finger Print Expert examined by the defendant who has reported that thumb impressions of the plaintiff on the written statement dt.19-07-1988, vakalatnama dt.19-07-1988 and statement before the court are half contoured, totally blurred and cannot be compared. The court has found that a perusal of the written statement and the statement dt.19-07-1988 reveals that thumb impressions are not blurred and the same are clear. The statements of the two of the defendants that the plaintiff was present in the court cannot rebut the report based on Scientific Study of Thumb impressions. Vakalatnama, written statement and the statement in the court are not comparable with the standard thumb impressions of the plaintiff. Both the courts below have appreciated the entire evidence to return a firm findings of the fact that the plaintiff have not appeared before the court on 19-07-1988 which lead to the passing degree in the favor of their mother. Therefore, the findings recorded that degree is result of fraud and misrepresentation cannot be said to the suffering from any illegality or irregularity.
