Question

The Court has the power to summon witnesses of its own accord under Section 311 CrPC:

A.

After conclusion of prosecution evidence if it feels the prosecution case is weak.

B.

After conclusion of both prosecution and defence evidence to clarify doubts.

C.

At any stage of the trial if his examination appears to be essential for the just decision of the case.

D.

None of these.

Correct option is C

Under Section 311 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), 1973, the court has the power to summon or recall a witness at any stage of the trial if the testimony of that witness appears necessary for a just decision of the case. The provision empowers the court to ensure that no material evidence is overlooked in the interest of justice.

  • Option (a) is incorrect because the court's power is not limited to the conclusion of prosecution evidence.
  • Option (b) is incorrect as it does not require the trial to conclude before invoking this power.
