In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Crl.Misc.No.M- 19027 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 7.7.2010 Chander Shekhar ......Petitioner Versus Madhu Sharma .......Respondents CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.Ashish Aggarwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. **** SABINA, J. This petition has been filed under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for quashing of order dated 6.2.2010 passed in criminal complaint No.2278 dated 1.10.2009 pending in the Court of Special Judicial Magistrate, Amritsar (Annexure P-1) vide which the cross-examination of the complainant/respondent has been closed by order as also order dated 25.3.2010 passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Amritsar, whereby revision filed by the petitioner against order dated 6.2.2010 (Annexure P-2) has been dismissed. The prayer further is for grant of one opportunity to the petitioner to cross-examine the complainant/respondent. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that one opportunity be granted to the petitioner to enable him to cross- Crl.Misc.No.M- 19027 of 2010 (O&M) -2- examine the complainant/respondent. The petitioner could not appear before the trial Court on 6.2.2010. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the instant petition deserves dismissal. The complainant- respondent tendered her affidavit on 12.12.2009. Thereafter, the case was adjourned for her cross- examination for 15.1.2010, 25.1.2010, 3.2.2010 and 6.2.2010. However, on all the said dates, the petitioner failed to cross-examine the complainant. In these circumstances, left with no other option, learned trial Court rightly ordered that the cross-examination of the complainant-respondent be treated as NIL. Hence, no ground for interference by this Court is made out. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE July 07, 2010 anita
