Respondents ----------- - 2 - 2. 7.7.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Perused the order dated 30.4.2009 wherein a prayer made on behalf of the petitioner for recalling P.W.2 for cross-examination has been rejected. The trial court has given the reasoning because it is a laches or omission on the part of the petitioner herself and probably it has been done with a ploy to delay the trial of election petition. It is evident that she has cross-examined many other prosecution witnesses thereafter but she has conveniently given a go-bye so far as P.W.2 is concerned. This Court is of the opinion that no indulgence or interference is required with the order. In the above circumstances, the writ application stands dismissed. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
