transpires out of record and submissions that at the stage of the before charge evidence of petitioner’s wife which was closed by the learned Magistrate was subsequently allowed by learned Sessions Judge through Cr. Rev. No. 52 of 2018 vide order dated 05.11.2018. The petitioner aggrieved with aforesaid revisional order preferred present petition.
5. As per settled principles of law, though there is no bar to prefer petition under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. against order of revision, but it should be entertained only in exceptional circumstances, particularly when the order appears perverse. It is submitted that impugned order is well reasoned. It also appears that proceeding is related with matrimonial discord, where the examination of wife is certainly essential to the just decision of the case, which is the sole of the provisions as to recall the witnesses under Section 311 of the Cr.P.C.
6. Considering aforesaid, this Court find no infirmity in impugned order passed by learned Sessions Judge, Nawada dated 05.11.2018 as passed in Cr. Rev. No. 52/2018, and therefore, the present petition stands Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.12455 of 2019 dt.20-08-2026
dismissed, being devoid of any merit.
7. TCR, if any, be returned to learned trial court alongwith the copy of this judgment.
