Crl. Revision No.2718 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Revision No.2718 of 2011 Date of decision: 04.11.2011 Shankar Yadav ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ....Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present: - Mr. Mukesh Kumar Bhatnagar, Advocate, for the petitioner. 1.Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not? 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ***** ALOK SINGH, J (ORAL) By way of present revision, petitioner is assailing order dated 16.9.2011 passed by Sessions Judge, Fatehgarh Sahib, whereby application moved by the accused under Section 311 Cr.P.C. for recalling the witnesses Rampreet Paswan and Jatinder Kumar, was rejected. Perusal of the record would reveal that PW3 Rampreet Paswan and PW4 Jatinder Kumar were duly cross-examined on behalf of accused by his counsel. Impugned order would further reveal that recall was sought after change of the counsel on the ground that certain questions were not asked by the earlier counsel. Learned Sessions Judge has rightly held that change of counsel would not justify recalling of the witnesses for further cross-examination. There is nothing on record to show what were the important Crl. Revision No.2718 of 2011 -2- points on which witnesses were not cross-examined by the earlier counsel. I find no illegality or jurisdictional error in the impugned order. Revision is devoid of merit. Hence is dismissed in limine. (Alok Singh) Judge November 04, 2011 R.S.
