2017- A.P. DIGEST - JUNE3


Order XXVI Rule 10
of the Code of Civil Procedure  for sending expert opinion at fag end of the arguments- delay - dismissed  = suit for specific performance of an agreement of sale - Ex.A.1, in the year 2010. -  filed a written
statement wherein they have denied the execution of the agreement of
sale by disputing the signatures.- I.A. under Order XXVI Rule 10
of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908 to send Ex.A.1 and the written
statement in original to an handwriting expert for comparison of the
admitted signatures with the disputed signatures on Ex.A.1. - This
application was dismissed by the lower Court on the sole ground of
inordinate delay in filing the application and especially at the stage of
arguments.  - 
their lordships held that   I am unable to agree with the submission of the learned
counsel for the petitioner that cause of action for his client to file the
application for sending the suit document for experts opinion arose only
on closure of the defendants evidence.  With the denial of execution of
Ex.A.1 in the written statement, cause of action had arisen for the
petitioner to come out with an application for sending the suit document
for experts opinion.  I cannot refrain from observing that it is the laid-
back approach of the parties or their counsel in filing applications
belatedly that has not only been causing prejudice to the interests of the
parties, but also leading to abnormal delays in disposal of cases.  Had the
petitioner been diligent in filing an application immediately after filing of
the written statement or at least before commencement of the trial, his
interests would have been well-served.  The Courts, facing severe pressure
of pendency of cases for long time, cannot be expected to allow
applications of this nature thwarting their efforts to dispose of cases as
quickly as possible.  On the one hand the litigants are critical of abnormal
delays in disposal of cases and on the other hand they file applications
after applications in pending suits, some of them are wholly needless, at
far too belated stages stalling the suit proceedings.  This attitude of the
parties as well as their counsel need to be changed and sooner it happens
it is better for the litigant public. I am of the opinion that the
discretion exercised by the Court below in rejecting the application of the
petitioner cannot be said to be either irrational or improper warranting
interference of this Court in exercise of its supervisory jurisdiction under
Article 227 of the Constitution of India.  The civil revision petition is
accordingly dismissed.
