01. This petition under Section 528 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha
Sanhita, 2023, (BNSS) is directed against the order dated 28.11.2025
passed by the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge (Fast Track
Court), Budgam [the Trial Court], whereby the application filed by the
Prosecution under Section 540 of the Jammu & Kashmir Criminal
Procedure Code, corresponding to Section 348 of BNSS, seeking
summoning and examination of prosecution witnesses particularly PW1
(Prosecutrix/Victim), PW2 and PW4 after closure of the prosecution
witnesses, has been rejected.
02. Since the challan has been pending disposal for a considerably
long time and also going by the advanced age of the accused, the matter is
taken up on board for disposal at this stage.
