IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40413 of 2008 Suresh Singh, son of Raj Narayan Singh, village Hamidpur, PS Baikunthpur, district Gopalganj – Petitioner. Vs. 1) The State of Bihar, 2) Manju Singh, wife of Suresh Singh, Mohalla Daulatganj, Michaiya Tola, PS Bhagwan Bazar, Dist. Saran – Opp. Parties. 2 27.7.2011 HeardMr. Sudhir Kumar Singh, counsel for the petitioner and Mr.Akbar Ali, learned A.P.P. for the State. This application has been filed against the orders, dated 23.7.2008 and 23.5.2008 passed by the courts below rejecting the application on behalf of the defence to adduce witnesses. The prosecution case was closed on 7.11.2010 and the defence was given ample opportunity to produce evidence. The case was posted for argument on 30.9.2010. It appears that no step was taken by the defence to adduce evidence. The court has rightly rejected the application on behalf of the defence as there can be no justification for allowing the defence to adduce evidence after long gap of closing of the prosecution case. This application is dismissed. haque ( Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
