It appears from the impugned order that in a case wherein the petitioner is facing charges under Sections 199,200,494 and 495 I.P.C. who had been granted, after the prosecution evidence was closed and the examination under Section 313 Cr.P.C. , time to produce the witnesses . It further appears from the impugned order that notwithstanding two adjournments to the petitioner having been - 2 - granted, he still failed to produce his witnesses. On third day the court was pleased to close the defence evidence. The impugned order is clear enough and I found no apparent illegality, irregularity or impropriety in the said order, so as to invite interference with the said order. There is no merit in this application, which is accordingly dismissed. ( Abhijit Sinha, J ) NKS/-
