Obtaining the handwriting of police officials for comparison---Petitioner/accused had challenged the validity of the order whereby the Trial Court declined to obtain the handwriting of two police officials for comparison with the record prepared by said two officials pertaining to F.I.R. registered at Police Station---Counsel for the petitioner had submitted that in fact the record of the case had been fabricated by said two police officials at the Police Station; and no recovery was effected from the possession of the petitioner, but said police officials having made false statements at the trial, it was essential for the just decision of the case that specimen of their handwriting s should be obtained and sent for comparison---One of said two officials had admitted that complaint on the basis of which formal F.I.R. was registered was not in his handwriting ; that he had, in fact, summoned another official at the relevant time at Police Station to scribe the complaint; that formal F.I.R. had been drawn by said official and in his handwriting ; and that it was written by some of his subordinates whose name he did not remember-In view of said statements of said Police Officials, it was necessary to order comparison of the record with the handwriting of those two police officials and was just and proper to allow the petitioner to further cross-examine said witnesses/officials for the purpose of confrontation with the record in the light of the statements of said officials in the Court--
