JUDGMENT Kanwaljit Singh Ahluwalia, J. - Present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. praying that the impugned order dated 12.5.2017 passed by the Special Metropolitan Magistrate, N.I. Act Cases No.6, Jaipur Metropolitan, whereby application filed by the petitioner was dismissed, be set aside alongwith order dated 13.7.2017 passed by the revisional court below. 2. Briefly stated, petitioner had issued a cheque in the year 2013 in favour of complainant. The said cheque on presentation bounced. Resultantly, complainant-respondent No.2 filed a complaint in the court of Special Metropolitan Magistrate (N.I. Act Cases) No.6, Jaipur Metropolitan. Complainant appeared on various dates, but counsel for the accused-petitioner did not come forward to extend the cross-examination. On 12.1.2017 cross- examination of complainant was closed and the case was fixed for recording of statement of the accused. The court below noted that before closing the evidence, various opportunities were granted, still cross-examination of complainant-respondent No.2 was not carried. 3. This is a case where complainant has been harassed. The accused misused the magnanimity of the court. Complainant has been appearing on each and every date, but on one pretext or the other, cross-examination was not carried. The accused simply wanted to delay the proceedings. 4. At this juncture, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that for the act of the counsel, petitioner cannot be made to suffer. It is submitted that if examination-in-chief of the complainant is taken into consideration without cross- examination, the petitioner will be left defenceless and shall have no remedy. 5. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, taking into account the fair play and balance of equities, the petitioner is granted one opportunity to cross examine complainant-respondent No.2 subject to payment of cost of Rs.40,000/-. The cost shall be disbursed to the complainant who has been made to suffer. It is ordered that upon deposit of cost by the petitioner within ten days from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order, the trial court, as per its convenience and calendar, shall fix one date for cross-examination of complainant-respondent No.2. On that day, counsel for the accused-petitioner shall conclude the cross- examination. However, if due to paucity of time cross-examination of the complainant is not concluded, the trial court shall fix the next day as date for the same. 6. In view of above, the present petition stands disposed of.
