IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR. REV. No.603 of 2007 MANISH KUMAR GUPTA @ MANISH KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 4. 9.9.2008. This application has been filed against the order dated 15.3.2007 passed by District and Sessions Judge, Rohtas in Cri. Misc. No. 13 of 2007 thereby the petition for extension of time for giving evidence has been rejected. Heard learned counsel for both the parties. It appears from the record that earlier vide order dated 8.2.2007 the petitioner was given opportunity to examine the witness within 15 days subject to payment of Rs.500. However, petitioner neither deposited any cost nor produced any witness. Accordingly, vide order dated 23.3.2007; the trial court closed the evidence of the prosecution. Learned sessions judge also refused to extend the time for production of witness. This is a case of the year 2002 registered under Sections 448, 341, 323, 379,504/34 I.P.C. Much opportunity was given - 2 - to the prosecution for examination of witnesses but it did not examine in order to delay the disposal of the case. Thus, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to give further opportunity to the prosecution for examination of witnesses. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. However, court below is directed to proceed with the trial and pass judgment at the earliest. kanchan (Ghanshyam Prasad, J.)
