THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL PETITION No.10701 of 2010 ORDER: Petitioner approaches this Court with a prayer to direct the learned XV Additional Judge-cum-XIX Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Hyderabad, to allow the petitioner to recall the witness P.W.1 for cross-examination. 2. Heard. 3. Learned counsel stated that the order copy is filed before this Court. But the said order does not disclose anything with regard to the fact that the learned Magistrate refused to recall P.W.1 for cross- examination. But in the said order, it is stated that the case is posted for 313 Cr.P.C.examination. 4. In such a case, this Court is of the view that the petitioner is at liberty to file an application to recall the witness even after examination of the accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C. Section 311 Cr.P.C. can be invoked even prior to the pronouncement of the judgment. Hence, the petitioner is directed to file an application before the trial Court seeking to recall P.W.1 for cross-examination, and on filing of such application, the learned Magistrate is directed to consider the same favourably and give an opportunity to the petitioner to cross- examine the complainant - P.W.1. 5. With the above observation, the Criminal Petition is disposed of. The miscellaneous petitions, if any, filed along with the criminal petition shall stand closed. ________________ RAJA ELANGO, J. 28th February 2011, Rns.
