In the case of Kalyani Baskar (supra), the accused had
denied the signature on the cheque and an application was
made by him for sending the cheque to the handwriting
expert, which was rejected and, under these circumstances,
the Apex Court held that the accused cannot be convicted
without an opportunity being given to her to present her
evidence. After referring to provisions of section 243 of the
Cr.P.C., the Apex Court observed, in the facts of the said
case, that at the initial stage itself the accused had filed an
application before the Magistrate under section 245 of the
Cr.P.C. and had denied her signature on the cheque and its
delivery to the respondent besides raising other preliminary
objections in opposition to the complaint filed by the
respondent under section 138 of the Negotiable Instruments
Act and had requested for sending the cheque in question
for the opinion of the handwriting expert after the
respondent had closed her evidence and, it was, therefore
observed that the Magistrate should have granted such
request, unless the Magistrate had come to the conclusion
that the appellant was protracting the trial. Ratio of this
