Medical witness deposition admissibility enables magistrate attested evidence use; court may summon deponent on application.

Deposition of a medical witness taken and attested by a Magistrate in the presence of the accused, or taken on commission, may be given in evidence even if the deponent is not called; the court may summon and examine such deponent and shall do so on application by the prosecution or the accused as to the subject matter of the deposition.
