JUDGEMENT
DEBI PROSAD DEY, J. -
(1.) Radharani Chowdhury since deceased executed a Will during her
lifetime and appointed Tarak Chowdhury and Sambhu Chowdhury (opposite
parties of this application) both sons of Panna Lal Chowdhury as executor of
the said Will. Probate was duly granted in Act 39 case being no.13 of 1996
in favour of the aforesaid opposite parties. Probate in respect of the Will of
Radharani Chowdhury was granted in favour of Tarak and Sambhu
Chowdhury in Act 39 case no.13 of 1996.
Smt. Jashoda Chowdhury wife of Late Charu Chowdhury initiated a
revocation case being case no.164 of 2004 against the aforesaid opposite
parties for revocation of the Probate granted in Act 39 case being no.13 of
1996 on the ground that such Probate was obtained by the opposite parties without serving any summons/notices/intimations upon the petitioner and
the opposite parties have obtained such Probate by practicing fraud upon
the learned trial Court. On inspection, the petitioner came to know that one
Acknowledgment Due Card was incorporated in the Probate proceeding
showing forged/manufactured left thumb impression of the petitioner said
to have been attested by one Narayan Chowdhury.
(2.) The opposite parties have filed an application under Order 26 Rule
10A read with Section 151 of the Civil Procedure Code with a prayer for comparing the left thumb impression of the petitioner namely Smt. Jashoda
Chowdhury appearing in the Acknowledgment Due Card with her admitted
left thumb impression appearing in the two vokalatnamas filed in Court on
08.12.2004 and 19th July, 2010 as well as left thumb impression of Jashoda appearing on the deposition sheet of her own evidence before this Court and
on the petition of Act 39 case filed by her. Learned trial Court ultimately
allowed said application and directed the Director, Finger Print Bureau, CID,
DIB, Bhawani Bhavan to compare the said left thumb impression of Smt.
Jashoda Chowdhury and to submit report.
(3.) Being aggrieved by and dis -satisfied with such order Smt. Jashoda
Chowdhury (herein after referred to as petitioner only), has filed this
application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India solely on the
ground that the alleged left thumb impression appearing in acknowledgment
due card has not been admitted in evidence as exhibit and accordingly
learned trial Court was not justified in referring the said document for
comparison without admitting the said document as exhibit in evidence.;
