HON'BLE JUSTICE KRISHNA RAO

The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the revisional petition filed by accused Uttam Sharma seeking to recall the child victim in a POCSO case for further cross-examination over one year after her initial cross-examination concluded. The court held that allowing recall would risk the victim resiling from her earlier testimony and serve no legitimate purpose, as the questions sought were either already covered or immaterial to the case outcome. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
