SEC.391 OF CR.P.C. - ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE AT CRIMINAL APPEAL STAGE - EXAMINATION OF EXPERT - IN SEC.420 , 406 IPC - when acquittal is not based on finding of non-examination of expert - an application in appeal for examination of expert is not maintainable as the purpose not solved - though the appellate Court has power to take additional evidence under Section 391 of Cr.P.C., the said provision has to be sparingly used.- Dismissed the criminal revision =
The learned IV Additional Sessions Judge, Kadapa in his
order dated 28-11-2013 specifically mentioned that the order of
acquittal passed by the learned Magistrate was not solely
basing on the non examination of the hand writing expert, but
taking the entire evidence into consideration. The learned IV
Additional Sessions Judge, Kadapa also observed that there is
no mention about the non examination of hand writing expert by
the prosecution either in the appeal grounds or in the written
arguments filed in the appellate Court by the revision petitioner.
Further, though the appellate Court has power to take
additional evidence under Section 391 of Cr.P.C., the said
provision has to be sparingly used. In the instant case, the
learned IV Additional Sessions Judge recorded elaborate
reasons for dismissing the petition. Therefore, in my view, the
learned appellate Court rightly dismissed the petition filed by the
revision petitioner/de facto complainant. The said order doesnot call for any interference in the present Criminal Revision
