SHAMSHAD AHMAD Vs. SECOND ADDL SESSION JUDGE SAHARANPUR

JUDGEMENT

(1.) D. C. Srivastava, J. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondents.

(2.) THE petition is being disposed of finally at this stage.

(3.) IT is, therefore, clear from plain read ing of this Section that the statute conferred right of argument only on the prosecutor and not on the complainant counsel. If the complainant choose to engage a counsel such counsel may assist the prosecutor. The Counsel for the complainant cannot insist that independent hearing may be given in the matter of arguments. In view of this legal proposition, the request of the counsel for the complainant was liable to turn down, still the presiding officer granted indul gence in the matter of arguments concluded much earlier.
