3. The petitioner is the respondent before the Trial Court. On 24.07.2026, the respondent was given the last opportunity to cross-examine the PW-1. On that day, upto 03.15 P.M., the respondent could not appear to cross-examine the PW-1. Therefore, the Trial Court closed the hearing of evidence of the petitioner’s side and posted the case on 29.08.2026 for DWs, if any, and for argument.

This shall be the final chance for the petitioner to cross-examine the PW-1.
