2. Perusal of the record indicates that the accused persons are facing trial for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 341, 392 IPC in Criminal Case No. 93/2007 before the Court of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate No.1, Beawar. It appears that when the examination-in-chief of the witness PW2-Parasmal was recorded, certain objections were taken and the cross-examination could not be done by counsel appearing on behalf of the accused. Hence, under these circumstances, the opportunity of cross- examination of the accused was closed. Thereafter, an application was submitted by the accused-respondents No.2&3 on 11.05.2015 for re-summoning the aforesaid witness for the purpose of cross- examination. The aforesaid application was allowed by the learned Magistrate vide order dated 01.07.2015, by passing a reasoned and cogent order while exercising the powers contained under Section 311 Cr.P.C. for just decision of the case. 3. In the considered opinion of this Court, cross-examination is a statutory right of an accused and he cannot be denied to avail such statutory right. 4. In the considered opinion of this Court, both the Courts below has not committed any error in passing the impugned orders which warrants any interference of this Court.
Hence, the instant petition is liable to be and is hereby rejected. 5. Stay application and all pending application(s), if any, also stand dismissed. (ANOOP KUMAR DHAND),J Shivam/32
