This application has been filed for quashing of the orders dated 17.07.2008 and 21.07.2008. The Courts below have rejected the application of the prosecution to recall the witness, who is the informant of this case, for being declared as a hostile witness. This application was filed after the prosecution case was closed and process under Section 313 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was to be taken. No reason has been stated on behalf of the petitioner for declaration that the witness should be declared as a hostile witness. The Courts below have observed that this application has been filed only to delay the disposal of the trial. Considering the facts aforesaid, I find no illegality in the orders impugned. This application is dismissed. Anand (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
