CrPC Section-311 - Power to summon material witness, or examine person present

Description

This section provides the Court with the power to call upon witnesses or examine individuals at any point during an inquiry, trial, or other legal proceeding. Here's a breakdown:

  1. Summoning Witnesses:

    • The Court can summon any person as a witness, regardless of whether they were initially called to testify.
  2. Examining People in Attendance:

    • The Court can also examine any person who is present in the courtroom, even if they were not formally summoned as a witness.
  3. Recalling and Re-Examining Witnesses:

    • The Court has the authority to recall and re-examine any person who has already been examined during the proceedings if necessary.
  4. Essential for Just Decision:

    • The Court must summon, examine, or re-examine a person if it believes their testimony is crucial for making a fair and just decision in the case. This ensures that all necessary evidence is considered.

This provision empowers the Court to ensure that all relevant facts and perspectives are examined to reach a fair outcome. It is particularly useful if new questions arise during the trial or if a witness's testimony is deemed critical to resolving key issues in the case.
