2021 (10) TMI 1365 - MADRAS HIGH COURTSuit for recovery of money due on a promissory note - defence of the defendant is that the defendant has neither borrowed any amount nor executed any promissory note in favour of the plaintiff - forgery of signature of defendant - HELD THAT:- As of now, there is no mechanism or scientific method to findout the age of the writing or ink. But the learned Additional District Judge, without considering the non-availability of any such mechanism, by simply observing that the defendant has to be given an opportunity to prove his defence and no prejudice would be caused to the plaintiff, allowed the petition. Hence, this Court has no hesitation to hold that the impugned order is not good in law and the same is liable to be set aside. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that this Court has already fixed the time limit for disposal of the suit and the same was not complied with, as the proceedings were subsequently stayed by this Court in the present revision, this Court is of the view that necessary directions are to be issued for the early disposal of the suit. The Civil Revision Petition is allowed.
