IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-18329 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 14.7.2009 Jai Singh .. Petitioner v. State of Haryana .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Vivek Khatri, Advocate for the petitioner. .. Rajesh Bindal J. Challenge in the present petition is to the order dated 4.3.2009, passed by the learned court below, whereby the application filed by the petitioner- accused under Section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for summoning the prosecutrix for further cross-examination, was dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that though the prosecutrix was examined on 7.11.2008 and was cross-examined thereafter, certain important questions, which go to the root of the case and the answers thereto may result in acquittal of the petitioner, could not be put to her in the cross-examination and if an opportunity is granted to the petitioner, he will complete her cross- examination on the date to be fixed by the court. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the impugned order. Admittedly, the prosecutrix was examined on 7.11.2008 and her cross-examination was also completed. Merely because the petitioner or his counsel, at the relevant time, had failed to put certain questions to the prosecutrix, he cannot be permitted to re-call her for further cross-examination. No illegality can be found in the impugned order. Accordingly, the present petition is dismissed. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 14.7.2009 mk
