The applications I.A. No 187 of 2025 and I.A. No 188 of 2025 that were filed by the petitioner plaintiff to reopen and to send the documents for expert opinion respectively were dismissed by common order dated 27.01.2026 by the learned trial court judge interalia observing that the petitioner previously filed similar application vide I.A. 70 of 2022 and the same was allowed and expert has given the opinion that the signature on the document Ex A 7 unfit for comparison due to lack of clear ridge characteristics. The learned 4

trial court judge has further observed that the present application is the 3rd application the petitioner herein has filed two I.A.’s for the identical relief vide I.A. 70 of 2022 and I.A. No’s 67 of 2023 in I.A. No: 67 of 2023 court has called for the document from Sub-Registrar Office and the expert is unable to give his opinion and the execution of the Will has to be proved by examining the attestors of the Will under section 63 of Indian Succession Act and 68 of the Indian Evidence Act corresponding to Section 57 of Bhartiya Sakshaya Adhinyam 2023 once the petitioner has admitted that the attestors of the Will were examined and the expert opinion is not conclusive proof, present applications are filed only to dragon the suit.

Upon careful review of the impugned common order dated 27.01.2026, the trial Court has rightly dismissed the two interlocutory applications. Given that the expert has opined that both the original and the certified copies were unfit for comparison due to lack of clear ridge characteristics, no purpose would be served, once again sending the 5

document for expert opinion. Whatever, the grounds that raised by the petitioner’s counsel in these Civil Revision Petitions lack merit. 6. Accordingly, both Revision Petitions are dismissed. However, no order as to costs. As a sequel, interlocutory applications, if any, pending in these civil revision petitions shall stand closed. __________________________________ JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO Date: 11.08.2026 Harin 6 103 THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE TARLADA RAJASEKHAR RAO C.R.P.Nos. 1030 and 1316 OF 2026 Date: 11-08-2026 Harin
