Heard Sri. Murali M., learned counsel appearing for the petitioners, Sri. Raghavendra V., learned counsel appearing for the respondent and have perused the material on record. 3. The petitioners are the plaintiffs. The suit is filed in O.S.No.167/2012 for declaration and permanent injunction. In the said suit, the petitioners-plaintiffs file an application under Order XXVI Rule 10A of the C.P.C., to refer the unregistered Partition for the handwriting expert to verify the signature, which the respondent disputes. 4. The concerned Court, by its detailed order, has rejected the application on the ground that when the Court generates any obfuscation, it would definitely do it and if not the stage for considering the case of reference to the handwriting expert of a unregistered document, as that would not render any right in favour of the holder of the document. The concerned Court has observed as follows: "£Á£ÀÄ wgÀĪÀÄ®UÉÆAqÀ£ÀºÀ½îAiÀÄ D¹ÛAiÀÄ£ÀÄß ¥ÀæPÁ±ï gÀªÀjUÉ ªÀiÁgÁl ªÀiÁrzÉÝÃ£É JAzÀgÉ ¸Àj.
