HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2605 of 2009 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed by the petitioners-accused, under Section 482 Cr.P.C., seeking to quash the order dated 18.03.2009 passed by the Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Mahabubabad, in Crl.M.P.No.404 of 2008 in C.C.No.435 of 2008 (Old C.C.No.183 of 1997) dismissing the said petition filed by the petitioners-accused seeking to reopen the matter and recall P.Ws.1 and 2 for the purpose of cross-examination. Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that for arriving at a just decision in this case, one more opportunity may be given to the petitioners herein for cross-examining P.Ws.1 and 2. I have gone through the affidavit filed in support of the petition as well as the order impugned in this criminal petition. On perusal of the record, I am not inclined to interfere with the order impugned herein. However, considering the submission of the learned counsel and the case is of the year 1997, this Court is of the view that one more opportunity may be given to the petitioners for cross-examination of P.Ws.1 and 2. Accordingly, the learned Magistrate is directed to give one more opportunity to the petitioners herein for cross-examination of P.Ws.1 and 2. The petitioners-accused are directed to file a petition before the trial Court, under Section 311 Cr.P.C, on the next date of hearing, with a prayer to recall P.Ws.1 and 2 for further cross-examination, and on filing of such petition, the learned Magistrate is directed to pass appropriate orders by fixing a date for further cross-examination of P.Ws.1 and 2 and cross-examine the witnesses on that day itself. The petitioners are directed to pay to P.Ws.1 and 2 a sum of Rs.1,000/- (Rupees One thousand only) each towards costs to depose before the trial Court. Accordingly, the criminal petition is disposed of. __________________ RAJA ELANGO, J 15th December, 2011 cbs HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.2605 of 2009 (Disposed of) 15th December, 2011 cbs
