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.
