Judgment text as reported

SHAH JAHAN VS RAHEEM SHAH S. 540---Re-summoning and re-examination of witnesses already recorded by the Trial Court---Permissibility---When cross-examination of prosecution witnesses had already been conducted by the defence counsel, any application under S. 540, Cr.P.C. at a belated stage just on the ground that the said prosecution witnesses had made statements contrary to their earlier statements under S. 161, Cr.P.C. was no ground at all to issue direction for re-summoning and re-examining the said witnesses for further cross-examination which was against the essence of law---No one could be permitted to fill in the lacunas at the belated stage according to his own whims.
