Final Orders / Judgements
The Additional District & Sessions Judge allowed the criminal revision and set aside the magistrate's order, holding that Pritam Kundu—the de-facto complainant and direct victim of unauthorized construction—has a right to testify as a prosecution witness. The court directed the trial magistrate to issue fresh summons to Kundu at his correct address and provide him one opportunity to adduce evidence, reasoning that justice cannot be properly served unless the victim is heard. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
