M V Punith vs B N Praveen Kumar Advocate - Pundarika P — 118/2025

Summary The Principal District & Sessions Judge of Kodagu dismissed the accused's criminal revision petition seeking to refer a cheque to a handwriting expert for signature verification. The court held that since the accused had admitted issuing the cheque and his signature on it in his reply notice, he cannot later contest the signature's authenticity by claiming forgery; therefore, expert examination was unnecessary. The revision petition was rejected. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
