(1.) This is an application by Dinesh Kumar (Petitioner), who is at present working as a Junior Engineer at Nokh, District Jaisalmer, for the grant of anticipatory bail, who claims to have reasons to believe that he may be arrested on an accusation of having committed offence punishable under sections 452 and 323, I. P. C.
(2.) The circumstances under which this application has been filed may be briefly stated as follows:-
(3.) On 20th June, 1978, the petitioner filed an application under section 296 (2) read with sections 311 and 482, Cr. P. C. praying therein that the petitioner be permitted to cross-examine the complainant, to find out the truth. After hearing the arguments, I am satisfied that the permission sought by the petitioner to cross-examine the complainant should not be granted. I, therefore, reject the application of the petitioner under section 296(2) read with sections 311 and 482, Cr. P. C.
