Mr. Brij Bhushan, AOR For Respondent(s) UPON hearing the counsel, the Court made the following O R D E R As the special leave petition has been preferred by the petitioner, who is incarcerated, we condone the delay. However, we do not find any good ground and reason to interfere with the impugned judgment and hence, the special leave petition is dismissed. We also consider it appropriate to record that in this case the trial court rightly exercised power under Section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and recorded the depositions of six eye-witnesses as court witnesses. This was necessary to ascertain and bring on record evidence for the just and fair disposal of the criminal prosecution. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of.
