Judgment text as reported

INHAF ULLAH VS State art. 161---Judge's power to put questions to witnesses---Scope---Trial Court was vested with ample authority to put questions to the witness, however, the power of such amplitude must be exercised with caution and circumspection, solely in aid of justice without disturbing equality in the scales---Court bore no responsibility either for the prosecution or the defence; it must maintain its neutrality to decide a case on the strength of evidence alone, essentially to be adduced by the prosecution itself to drive home the charge.
