Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that he wants to examine the petitioner herein in order to mark some of the documents. 3. Learned counsel for the respondent vehemently opposed the contention of the petitioner’s counsel stating that the petitioner has not filed any such documents at the time of filing of the complaint and also some of the documents produced by the petitioner were rejected by the Court. In such circumstances, the petitioner could not be given an opportunity to examine himself as witness to adduce further evidence in this case. 4. After hearing both sides and on perusal of the records, this Court is of the view in the interest of justice and for the just decision of the case that the petitioner can be given an opportunity to examine himself and adduce further evidence. Learned counsel for the respondent at the same time requested this Court that the respondent may be permitted to raise his objection regarding the genuineness and admissibility of the documents, which the petitioner wants to mark as exhibits before the concerned Court. This Court is of the view that any such application is filed by the petitioner herein to examine himself before the Court to adduce further evidence, the respondent is at liberty to raise his objection. Learned Magistrate is also directed to give an opportunity to the petitioner herein to examine him further and mark the documents if the Court feels which are relevant to the decision of the case. 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. 8th March 2011, Rns.
