https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313360 Section 311 CrPC gives the court a wide power to summon, examine, recall or re-examine a witness when the evidence is necessary for a just decision. The controlling test is the bona fide necessity of the additional evidence, not the stage of trial. Applying that standard, the trial court allowed the prosecution to examine the sanctioning authority and prove the sanction order even after arguments had closed, because it found the evidence essential for justice. The order was upheld as neither illegal nor irregular, and the court was not merely filling a gap in the prosecution case. en-us Tue, 05 Jul 1988 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 09 Apr 2024 16:10:06 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=313360 Section 311 CrPC gives the court a wide power to summon, examine, recall or re-examine a witness when the evidence is necessary for a just decision.
