Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the application under Section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, which allows for the re-examination of witnesses to ensure a fair trial. The Court held that the trial court's refusal to allow the re-examination of PW-9 was erroneous, emphasizing the importance of allowing all relevant evidence to be presented. The High Court's directive to permit the re-examination was upheld, reinforcing the principle that the truth must be ascertained in criminal proceedings.
