4. The said underlying Interlocutory Applications were opposed by the petitioners herein by filing counter claiming that since, the applications filed by the respondents herein earlier to receive expert opinion issued b5, Truth Labs having been rejccted by the Court, by observing that the said report has been obtainecl by respondent themselves pending the suit without the knowledge of the petitioners herein, the respondents herein havc' come up with the underlying Interlocutory Applications

8. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and perused the record.
9. On behalf of the petitioners, it is vehernently contended that the trial Court ought not to have allowed the underlying Interlocutory Applications and that too when the suit is posted fol arguments, as the intentior-r ol the respondents herein is ouly' to drag on the matter; and that the respondents herein have not raised any objection to Ex.A-ll when the sarne is being markcd. lt is to be noted that the trial Court taking note of the lact that Ex.A-I1 is a docurnent thal has been marked by the petitioners herein rvhile thc lcspondents are disputing the genuineness of the sarne, the burden being on them to disprove the colrcctness o[ the said document and also taking note of the lact that the respondents hercin having fited applications earlier of obtaining report from the Truth Labs and the said applications having been dismissed by the Court on the ground that the said report "vas obtained by the respondents themselves without the knowledge of the petitioners herein, had found it appropriate to allorv the underlying Interlocutory Applications permitting the respondents herein ro r.nrEx.A-i I along with Exs.A-5 to 4.-6, A-8, A-l0 7 5 and A- I 7 to F SL lbr cornparison of handwriting. .fhus, arguments advanced by the petition ers of re s juclicata would not I0. F urthcr, the trial Court b_v exercising the discretionary power cor.rlbrred on it had allowed the [nterlocutory Applications. which in the only resulr in the C_.ourt considered view of this Crturl, would lrriving at a right conclusion while adjudicatin-u the suit filed by the petitioners lor recovery of the amount lron r the respondents. The nrere fact of thr, respondents filing applicrrrions a1 the time of argurnents \.r,ould not by itself a for the petitioner.s to f-eel aggrieved by the action of the trial Court in allou,ing the said applications and pcrrnitting the respondents to send the :rlirresaid docurnents Lo F_SL for comparison rvith other. adnritted Exhibits, as such opinion fumished by the FSL aurhoriries would only result in the Court arriving at a right decision. reason I l. In view ol'the above, this Court is of the view that the order of the trial Court cannot be said to be enoneous or suffering fi'om any infir',rity warranting interf-erence by this court in 6 exercise of supervisory jurisdiction under Afticle Z2l ol the Constitution of India.
