THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1662 of 2010 JUDGMENT: This Criminal Revision Case is directed against the order, dated 08.09.2010, passed by the Additional Metropolitan Sessions Judge for trial of JHCBBC-cum- Additional Family Court-cum-XXIII Additional Chief Judge, Hyderabad, in M.P.No.812 of 2010 in M.C.No.201 of 2009, whereby the petition filed by the petitioner herein under Section 311 Cr.P.C. seeking to recall P.W-1 for the purpose of cross-examining her with regard to the contents of the F.I.R. was dismissed. The brief facts of the case are that the first respondent-wife filed the said M.C. claiming maintenance at the rate of Rs.10,000/- per month. The petitioner-husband filed a detailed counter and disputed the said fact stating that he is jobless and he is not having any sufficient income. The first respondent-wife was examined as P.W-1 and she was cross-examined by the petitioner-husband. Thereafter, the petitioner-husband was examined as R.W-1 and he marked certain documents, out of which, Ex.R-3 is the First Information Report with regard to the crime registered against him by the Police concerned for the offences punishable under Sections 415, 418 and 420 IPC. The entire trial of the case was over and the matter is ripe for arguments, at that stage, the petitioner-husband filed the present petition stating that P.W-1 has to be further cross- examined with regard to the contents of the First Information Report, which was marked as Ex.R-3 and as the same was dismissed, this Criminal Revision Case is filed. The main contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that so many allegations are made by the first respondent-wife in the said complaint, on the basis of which, the First Information Report was registered and that, during the course of examination of R.W-1, it was marked as Ex.R- 3. In those circumstances, it is very much required to further cross-examine the P.W-1-wife with regard to the contents of the said First Information Report-Ex.R-3. Heard both sides. Having heard the submissions of learned counsel for both the parties and on perusal of the material on record, this Court is of the view that the relief sought for by the petitioner is not necessary for the purpose of deciding as to whether the wife is entitled to maintenance, as claimed by her in the said M.C. When the said document is marked as Ex.R-3, in my considered view no further cross-examination is required for the purpose of confronting the same to P.W-1 in her further cross-examination. On the basis of the material which is available on record, the trial Court will either award the maintenance or refuse the same. Further, it is clear that the entire evidence was over and the matter is ripe for arguments and at that stage, the said petition was filed. In those circumstances, the Court below is justified in dismissing the said petition. Accordingly I see no merits in the Criminal Revision Case and the same is liable to be dismissed. In the result, the Criminal Revision Case is dismissed. It is needless to observe that having regard to the fact that the said First Information Report was already marked as Ex.R-3, the petitioner-husband can advance his arguments on the basis of the same. ___________________________________ JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA 14th February 2011 DR
