THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.1723 OF 2011 ORDER: The petitioners preferred the present revision against the order dated 11.7.2011 passed by the appellate Court in Criminal R.P. No. 31 of 2011. It is seen from the record that during the course of trial, when it was suggested by the petitioners that the firm in question is not a registered one, the 1st respondent herein filed an application, being Criminal M.P. No.259 of 2010 before the trial Court by invoking the provisions of Section 311 of Cr.P.C. to recall P.w.1 to mark a particular document to show that the firm is a registered one. The said petition was dismissed by the trial Court. Aggrieved over the same, the 1st respondent preferred Criminal R.P. No. 31 of 2011 before the appellate Court and in the said revision petition, the appellate Court while setting aside the order passed by the trial Court, allowed the 1st respondent to examine himself to mark the firm registration certificate before the trial Court. The said order is under challenge before this Court. Having heard the arguments and having perused the records, this Court is of the view that during the course of cross- examination, if some fact is disputed by the other side, it is left open to the other party to produce some documents to establish his case. In the present case, since the petitioners suggested the 1st respondent that the firm in question is not a registered one, the 1st respondent filed Crl.M.P. No. 259 of 2010 to recall P.W.1 for marking a document. Hence, it cannot be said that the order passed by the learned appellate Judge is erroneous and the learned appellate Judge has rightly given an opportunity to the 1st respondent to mark the document. But, in any event, taking into consideration the pendency of the case for a long time, this Court is of the view that the 1st respondent can be allowed to examine himself in connection with the registration of the firm concerned and he cannot elaborate anything more than that with an intention to drag on the matter. With the above observations, the Criminal Revision Case is disposed of. Miscellaneous petitions filed in this Criminal Revision Case, if any, shall stand closed. ________________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated : 25.08.2011 pnb
