IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31686 of 2007 DILIP MANDAL, Son of Ram Chandra Mandal, Resident of Village-Bina Dighiya Tola, Police Station- Supaul, District-Supaul. Versus 1.STATE OF BIHAR 2.Sitab lal Mandal, Son of Late Sundar Mandal, Resident of Village-Bina Dighiya Tola, Police Station- Supaul, District-Supaul. ----------- 5 16-02-2010 Heard Mr. Uday Chand Prasad, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The impugned order dated 7.6.2007 rejecting prayer of the accused-petitioner for recalling of P.Ws.3, 5 and 7 for further cross-examination having been rejected, this Court had called for a report as to the present stage of the trial. The report dated 15th October, 2009 at flag-A would go to show that there are still six out of 21 witnesses who are to be examined. In that view of the matter, this Court would direct the court below to ensure that the three witnesses sought to be recalled would be produced by the prosecution on a date fixed and their further cross-examination by the petitioner will be allowed which will be completed on the same day. It is also made clear that if the petitioner for any reason does not avail the opportunity of cross- examining the three witnesses sought to be recalled, the court below after having recorded the said fact in the ordersheet will not allow any further time for the same. At the same time, taking into account that the Sessions Trial of the year 2006 in which charges were already framed on 2 15.9.2006, this Court would direct that the trial itself will be completed within a period of six months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. With the above observation this application is disposed of. Abhay Kumar ( Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
