This order is arising out of the M.A. being No. 33/2018 filed by the complainant in the Consumer Complaint No. 221/2016 with a prayer to direct the OPs to produce the original documents for the purpose of comparing and verifying the signature of the complainant appearing in those documents.

It is stated by the complainant that the complainant is very much confident that the signatures appearing on the Xerox documents filed by the OPs are not genuine. Those signatures appearing in the Xerox copies are to be compared with original signatures. For such comparison of signatures the original documents needs production and as such the OPs be directed to produce all the original documents connected with the present case, otherwise the complainant will not be able to prove his case and payer is made to direct the OPs to produce the original documents for the purpose of comparing and verifying the signature of the complainant appearing in those documents.

The ld. Counsel for the OP is present and raises objection against such application.

It is seen from records that the OPs has filed some documents in support of its case.

Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion that the M.A. filed by the complainant should be allowed.

Hence, it is

O r d e r e d

that the M.A. being No. 33/2018 be and the same is allowed on contest against the Ops without any cost.
