NOS. 1221 & 1222 OF 2007 ================================= Dated this the 20th day of March 2007 O R D E R The revision petitioner is the accused who has sought for setting aside the orders of the courts below in C.M.P. Nos. 576/2007 and 577/2007 in ST. No. 2037/2004. The application filed for reopening the evidence for examining the accused as defence witness was dismissed. Evidently, it appeared to the court below that the revision petitioner/accused is attempting to protract the matter. 2. All the same, in the interest of a complete and final adjudication in the matter I find that the applications are to be allowed. The orders of the courts below are set aside. The court below is directed to reopen the evidence and to permit the petitioner to examine the accused as defence witness. The revision petitioner is directed to co-operate with the trial. The revision petitioner is directed to appear before Judicial First Class Magistrate, North Paravur on 10.04.2007. The Crl. R.P is disposed of accordingly. K.R. UDAYABHANU, JUDGE. RV
