https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=448039 Section 311 CrPC gives the court wide power to recall and re-examine a witness when additional evidence is essential for a just decision. The power is aimed at discovering truth and should not be refused merely because the evidence may aid one side, the trial is advanced, or a plea of lacuna is raised. Where the omission is explainable and the material is necessary to prove disputed facts, recall may be permitted.
