Summary
Petitioner sought examination of the disputed cheque by a handwriting expert to rebut the presumption under Section 139 NI Act. HELD- Where the accused consistently disputes the signature, denial of expert examination, absent a finding that the request is vexatious or intended to delay proceedings, deprives him of a valuable defence opportunity and affects fair trial under Article 21. Order rejecting Section 45 application quashed; FSL examination directed. Pending applications disposed of.
