Learned counsel for the revisionist has lastly prayed that the present revision is devoid of merit and is liable to be dismissed. 5. Since the charge-sheet in this case has been filed and the matter is at the stage of framing of charge. The nature of evidence in the present case appears to be documentary in nature, that is correctness of document, correctness of thumb impression and signature of the informant's son, which is subject matter of evidence and trial, hence, during the course of trial the revisionist will have sufficient opportunity to get the said thumb impression and signature of the informant's son be verified from the experts, and may move such application before the trial court, which is still open to the revisionist. Moreover, the present case involves a mixed question of oral and documentary evidence, which can only be decided by conducting trial in the matter, hence, no ground is left with the revisionist and the revision is liable to be dismissed. 6. The present revision is devoid of merit and is accordingly, dismissed. 7. Interim order, if any, stands vacated. September 24, 2025 Vikram CRLR No. 3603 of 2024 2 (Harvir Singh,J.)
