(1.) A suit for specific performance of contract has been filed by plaintiffs/petitioners in respect of certain immovable property which is the subject-matter of the suit.

The defendants further denied their thumb impression on the document of agreement of sale.
(2.) At the stage of final argument, an application under section 45 of the Evidence Act was filed by the plaintiffs to get the document examined by handwriting expert in order to take out the grain from the chaff.
(3.) This application was vigorously opposed by learned counsel appearing for the respondents, who were defendants in the trial Court.
