Section 240 - Recall of witnesses when charge altered

Witness recall after charge alteration: prosecutor and accused may re-examine witnesses unless court finds vexation or delay.

When a charge is altered after trial begins, the prosecutor and the accused may recall or re-summon and examine previously examined witnesses with respect to the alteration; the Court may refuse recall or re-examination if, for reasons recorded, it finds the request sought vexation, delay, or to defeat justice, and the Court may also allow calling any further witness it considers material.
