What is this about?
Allahabad High Court (Rajeev Misra, J.), Order dated 12.5.2025, Application U/S 528 BNSS No. 16398 of 2025 — Rama Shanker Pandey v. State of U.P. and Another. Dismisses challenge to rejection (order dt. 22.04.2025, ASJ Court No.2, Jaunpur) of applicant's second Section 311 Cr.P.C. application for recall of P.W.-1 in Sessions Trial No. 93 of 2022 (State Vs. Ashish Pandey), Section 302 IPC, Case Crime No. 272 of 2021, P.S. Sikrana, Jaunpur; earlier identical application (Paper No. 12 Kha) rejected 30.01.2025 was undisclosed, constituting concealment of material fact; precedent referred by State counsel: Supdt. & Remembrancer of Legal Affairs Vs. S. K. Roy (1974) 4 SCC 230.
What did the court decide?
The preliminary objection raised by the learned A.G.A. — that the applicant concealed the filing and rejection of his earlier application (Paper No. 12 Kha) for recall of P.W.-1 vide order dated 30.01.2025 — is clearly borne out from the record and could not be dislodged by the learned counsel for the applicant; therefore no good ground exists to entertain the present application.
