The petitioners are facing trial for the alleged offences under Sections 120- B, 341, 323, 365, 506 r/w 34 of IPC. The 1st respondent filed Criminal Miscellaneous Petitions seeking to produce and mark the following additional documents: (a) Death certificate of P.W.2, which is to be marked as Ex.P6; and (b) Her statement recorded by the Additional Junior Civil Judge, Ponnur as Ex.P7 for identifying her signature. 2. The learned Magistrate, after considering the submissions of the parties involved, had allowed the petitions vide orders dated 13.01.2023 respectively. It is also observed that the petitioners would get an opportunity of cross examining the other party on the said documents and its probative value can be decided at the time of considering the case on merits. To prove the death of P.W.2, the death certificate was sought to be marked and also to identify her signature, the evidence recorded in the Court was sought to be marked. Though those documents are public documents, they would have been marked for the purpose of trial. Marking of those documents would not cause 5 any prejudice to the petitioners and the petitioners will have an ample opportunity of cross examining the witnesses. The CC is pending since the year 2016 onwards, and this Court finds no grounds to interfere with the well-considered and well-reasoned orders passed by the learned Magistrate. 3. Accordingly, these Criminal Petitions are dismissed. As a sequel thereto, interlocutory applications pending, if any, shall stand closed. ____________________ JUSTICE HARINATH.N Date: 02.07.2025 JLV 6 190 THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE HARINATH.N Criminal Petition Nos:1697 and 1039 OF 2023 Date: 02.07.2025 JLV
