1 - 10 of 10 (0.39 seconds)Ajay Kumar Parmar vs State Of Rajasthan on 27 September, 2012
In the decision in the case of Ajay Kumar
Parmar vs. State of Rajasthan (cited supra), the Hon'ble Supreme Court
held that there is no legal bar to prevent the courts from comparing the
signatures by using its own eyes. Section 73 of the Evidence Act,
empowers the Court to compare the disputed signatures with the admitted

signatures. However, it would be unsafe for the Courts to compare the
signatures without the aid of scientific opinion of an expert.

M/S Gian Chand & Brothers vs Rattan Lal @ Rattan Singh on 8 January, 2013
As far as the
present case is concerned, the plaintiff did not take any steps to get the
opinion of the hand writing expert, especially, when the defendant has
not only disowned his signature on the suit promissory note but also
contended that he does not know who the plaintiff is. The decision in the
case of Gian Chand & Brothers and another vs. Ratta Lal @ Rattan
Singh (cited supra), may not also apply to the facts of the present case
since in that case, the courts below had wrongly placed the onus of proof
on the defendant to prove that the signature had been forged, moreso,
when there was denial of the same. Interestingly, this particular ruling is
not in favour of the plaintiff and the plaintiffs in that suit also had chosen
to adduce acceptable evidence to prove the entries in the books of
accounts maintained by them in the regular course of business. Similarly
the other rulings relied on by the plaintiff may not also apply to the facts
of the present case.

Roop Singh (Dead) Through Lrs vs Ram Singh (Dead) Through Lrs on 28 March, 2000
In the decision reported in 2000 (3)
SCC 708 (Roop Singh vs. Ram Singh), the Hon'ble Supreme Court has
held as follows:
Thakur Kishan Singh vs Arvind Kumar on 7 September, 1994
"7. It is to be reiterated that under Section 100
jurisdiction of the High Court to entertain a second
appeal is confined only to such appeals which
involve a substantial question of law and it does not
confer any jurisdiction on the High Court to interfere
with pure questions of fact while exercising its
jurisdiction under Section 100. That apart, at the
time of disposing of the matter the High Court did
not even notice the question of law formulated by it
at the time of admission of the second appeal as
there is no reference of it in the impugned judgment.
Further the fact findings courts after appreciating the
evidence held that the defendant entered into the
possession of the premises as a batai, that is to say,
as a tenant and his possession was permissive and
there was no pleading or proof as to when it became
adverse and hostile. These findings recorded by the
two courts below were based on proper appreciation

of evidence and the material on record and then was
no perversity, illegality of irregularity in those
findings. if the defendant got the possession of suit
land as a lessee or under a batai agreement then from
the permissive possession it is for him to establish by
cogent and convincing evidence to show hostile
animus and possession adverse to the knowledge of
the real owner. Mere possession for a long time
does not result in converting permissive possession
into adverse possession (Thakur Kishan Singh vs.
Arvind kumar (1994 (6) SCC 591). hence the High
Court ought not to have interfered with the findings
of fact recorded by both the courts below."

Tejumal vs Ram Pratap Jaiswal on 16 April, 2003
5. 2003 Lawsuit (MP) 299 (Tejumal vs. Ram Pratap Jaiswal)
and contended that
(1) If the courts below have wrongly cast the burden of proof on the
plaintiff and ignored the material evidence, the High Court can
interfere with the findings of the courts below.
(2) Forgery is to be pleaded and proved and an ambiguous statement
in the written statement that the suit promissory note is a forged
document cannot be accepted.
