V/S
PALI RAM Respondents

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS appeal by special leave, directed against a judgment dated February 18, 1975, of the High Court of Delhi, involves a question with regard to the scope of the powers of Court under Section 73, Evidence Act to direct an accused person to give his specimen writings. It arises out of these circumstances;

(2.) FEELING aggrieved by this Order, Pali Ram preferred a revision to the Court of Session. The revision was dismissed by the learned Additional Sections Judge on 7/12/1972. Against this dismissal, Pali Ram preferred a revision petition (C. R. No. 46 of 1973) in the High Court. The revision petition first came up for hearing before R. N. Agarwal J., who felt that the case involved an important question of law which was not free from difficulty. He therefore referred it to a larger Bench, although he did not formulate any specific question.

(3.) HENCE, this appeal by the State (Delhi Administration).
