In the circumstances, the Sessions Judge, Shikarpur is directed to recall the case file from the trial Court and either to continue himself with the ease or may assign it to any other Additional Sessions Judge. Both the learned counsel agreed that the abductee Mst. Badsha is to be examined first and thereafter the complainant is to be examined.
