CORAM : S.B. SHUKRE, J.
th DATE : 8 AUGUST, 2016.
ORAL JUDGMENT :
1. Heard. Admit. Heard finally by consent of learned counsel
appearing for the parties.
2. This application has been strongly opposed by learned A.P.P.
However, considering the grounds taken in the application filed for grant
of adjournment and also the fact that the learned counsel could not
attend the Court on the date on which evidence of the victim was to be
J-apl480.16.odt 2/3
recorded and also the fact that no prejudice, in the facts and
circumstances of this particularly the case, was going to be caused to the
other side, I am of the view that the trial Court ought to have allowed the
application filed under Section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in
the interest of justice. The impugned order being oblivious to these
considerations would have to be quashed and set aside.
3. The application is allowed.
4. The impugned order dated 27.6.2016, passed by the
Additional Sessions Judge, Washim, is hereby quashed and set aside,
subject to penalty of Rs.15,000/- to be paid within two weeks from the
date of order to the Washim District Legal Services Authority .
5. The application filed for recalling PW 1- complainant for
further cross-examination is allowed. If any request is made for
re-examination of the witness, it shall be considered in accordance with
law.
