IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14201 of 2009 MADAN MOHAN PRASAD, S/O Sri Prakash Narayan Mahto, R/O Rahiya, P.S. Barh, District Patna. ……..Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …….Opposite Party 02. 25-10-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This is an application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking quashing of order dated 23.01.2009 passed by Shri A.K. Sinha, 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Barh in Sessions Trial No. 209 of 1996 rejecting the prayer to recall P.W. 3 Ramanand Prasad for further cross-examination. In this fourteen years old case P.W. 3 was cross-examined at length continuously for three days. In the year 2007 almost a year thereafter to recall the witness for further cross-examination without mentioning any detail or framing any question was filed that too was not pressed till the trial court was to close the prosecution evidence, only at this juncture the petition was pressed and appears rightly refused. Finding no merit in this application, it is hereby dismissed. The trial court is further directed to proceed expeditiously and conclude the trial at the earliest. Praveen (Akhilesh Chandra, J.)
