Judgment text as reported

HAJI VS State S. 342---Examination of accused by the court--- Scope--- Incriminating evidence available on record in the shape of examination-in-chief, cross-examination or re-examination of witnesses were required to be put to the accused if the same were against him while recording his statement under S.342, Cr.P.C.---Purpose was to enabling the accused to explain any circumstances appearing in the evidence against him---Said provision of law demonstrated that not only the circumstances appearing in the examination-in-chief were to be put to the accused but circumstances appearing in cross-examination or re-examination were also required to be put to the accused if they were against him, because the "evidence" meant examination-in-chief, cross-examination and re-examination, as provided under Art.132 read with Arts. 2(c) & 71 of Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984.
