ORDER
The petitioner, who is a medical practitioner and who is
the accused in C.C.No.617/2008 on the file of the J.F.C.M-1,
Aluva in a prosecution under Section 138 of the Negotiable
Instruments Act, 1881, involving a cheque for Rs.2,18,000/-,
challenges Annexure A2 order dated 22.12.07 by which the
learned Magistrate was indulgent enough to permit the
petitioner to cross-examine the complainant on another day on
payment of a sum of Rs.1,000/- as cost. After the complainant
was examined in chief, the petitioner’s counsel had sought an
adjournment for cross-examination to another date. That
request was allowed as per the impugned order. I see no ground
to interfere with the discretion exercised by the learned
Magistrate. The petitioner is, however, given two weeks’ time
from today to deposit the cost, in which event he shall be given
an opportunity to cross-examine the complainant.
This Crl.M.C is disposed of as above.
V. RAMKUMAR, JUDGE
