Act Cases), No.6, Jaipur Metropolitan-I in case No.1471/2022 whereby, learned trial Court dismissed the application filed by the petitioners for recalling the complainant for his cross-examination. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that for just decision of the case, the cross-examination of the complainant is very essential and if prayer of the petitioners is not accepted and cross-examination of the complainant is not allowed to be conducted, the petitioner would not be able to defend his case properly and serious prejudice would be caused to him. He therefore, prays that in [2026:RJ-JP:13165] (2 of 2) [CRLMP-1741/2026] the interest of justice, the petitioners may be given one opportunity to cross-examine the complainant. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposes the submissions made by counsel for the petitioners. 4. Having regard to the overall facts and circumstances of the case; considering the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and in the interest of justice, the petitioners are given one last opportunity to cross-examine the complainant subject to payment of cost to the complainant. 5. Accordingly, the instant Criminal Misc. petition is allowed and the impugned order dated 25.02.2026 is hereby quashed and set aside. The petitioners are granted one last opportunity to cross- examine the complainant subject to payment of cost of Rs.25,000/- to the complainant before the learned trial Court. The trial court shall fix a date in the matter for the purpose of cross-examination of the complainant by the petitioners and shall summon the said witness accordingly.
