IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Criminal Revision No. 2416 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 14.9.2009. Surjit Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Ms. Jarnail Kaur Dhaliwal, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL J. The challenge in the present revision petition is to the order dated 31.7.2009 passed by learned Court below whereby the application filed by the petitioner under section 311 Cr.P.C. for producing additional evidence by the complainant was dismissed. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the evidence which is required to be led is material for the purpose of decision of the case as one of the witness who had turned hostile his credibility can be considered by the Court with the statement which was given by him during departmental inquiry. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner I do not find any merit in the present revision petition. The complaint in question was filed on 3.7.2001. The evidence of the complainant was closed nearly seven years thereafter on 27.5.2008. Thereafter even statement of accused under section 313 Cr.P.C. had also been recorded, when the application under Section 311 Cr.P.C. was filed. Considering the stage of the case and the time which the petitioner had availed to lead the evidence and also the fact that the evidence which is sought to be led now is quite old and was in existence when the petitioner led his evidence, I do not find any reason to grant any further opportunity. Dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 14.9.2009 JUDGE Reema
