Judgment text as reported

IHTESHAM UL HAQ VS State art.133---Cross-examination of witness by accused---Effect---Trial Court had recorded cross-examination of two witnesses in absence of the counsel for the accused which exercise of powers had vitiated the entire subsequent case proceedings---Though the witnesses were cross-examined by the accused himself but when he had already engaged a lawyer to defend him in the case then in that situation the Trial Court was legally bound to adjourn the case for absence of the accused person's lawyer rather than proceeding with the case by directing and allowing the accused to do the duty of his lawyer---Proceedings conducted by the Trial Court in absence of the accused person's counsel could not be countenanced---appeal was allowed, impugned judgment was set aside and the case was remanded to the Trial Court for decision afresh.
