No.3605 of 2011 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 8th day of November 2011 O R D E R This petition is filed by the petitioner in M.C.No.23/2010. Her claim is under Sec.3(i) of the Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act. It was filed in the year 2010. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that her evidence was recorded by the court long back. Thereafter, it was re-opened on two occasions earlier. Now, a petition has been filed to recall PW1 (petitioner herein) to be examined again. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that respondent goes on filing petition after petition only to put the petitioner in difficulty. It is also pointed out that as per the provisions of the Act, if a petition is filed it has to be disposed of within one month, but now, 9 months have elapsed. The dilatory tactics adopted by the respondent should not be allowed and hence the petition to recall PW1 should be set aside, the learned counsel submits. The learned Crl.M.C. No.3605 of 2011 -: 2 :- counsel for the respondent submits that for recalling PW1, cost was ordered to be paid and that the request is made not to put the petitioner in difficulty. It is further submitted that PW1 is to be recalled only to put certain questions with regard to the evidence given by her in another proceeding. 2. It is for the learned counsel appearing for the parties to collect all materials before starting cross examination. The practice of recalling witness again and again should not be entertained. However, since the petition to recall PW1 has already been allowed, I do not want to interrupt that proceeding. But it is made clear that the court should not entertain such petitions in this case here after. It is also directed that the M.C. Should be disposed of on or before 12.12.2011. This Crl.M.C. is disposed of as above. N.K.BALAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Jvt
