https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313356 Section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure confers wide judicial power to summon, examine, recall, and re-examine a witness at any stage where the evidence is essential to a just decision. Earlier rejection of similar requests does not bar a later order if subsequent enquiry or expert opinion shows that the person examined may not have been the genuine witness. The provision is intended to prevent failure of justice and enable the court to reach the truth by lawful means, and it must be exercised judicially when the circumstances justify it. The trial court's direction to summon the genuine witness was therefore treated as within jurisdiction and not illegal or arbitrary. en-us Wed, 17 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 15:35:51 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313356 Section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure confers wide judicial power to summon, examine, recall, and re-examine a witness at any stage where the evidence is essential to a just decision.
