IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40743 of 2008 1. Chandradeo Singh 2. Kewal Singh 3. Ramdeo Singh, Sons of late Pradeep Singh All residents of village Inderpur, PS Makhdumpur, District Jehanabad ---- Petitioners Versus State Of Bihar ---- Opposite Party ----------- 2 26.7.2011 This application has been filed against the order dated 19.5.2008 by which the petitioners’ application for recall of witnesses has been rejected. The ground for recall of witnesses is that a compromise petition was filed between the parties. The offence is not compoundable and as such, the compromise would have no effect. In the mean time, witnesses were examined and they have accepted that they had filed a compromise petition and at the same time have stated that they did so due to pressure. It is submitted that the parties are related to each other and have now restored good relationship with each other. Whatever be the position, the witnesses cannot be recalled for the purposes of re-examination once they have already been examined and cross-examined, just because the parties have entered to some sort of agreement. The Court may have the sympathy with the submission advanced on behalf of the petitioner but it cannot pass an order for recall of witnesses on the basis of the aforesaid submission. In the result, this Court finds that there is no illegality in the order impugned. This application is dismissed. Sanjay (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
