Xxx v. State of Kerala
Case brief
What is this about?
In a criminal miscellaneous case under Section 482 Cr.P.C. challenging proceedings for sexual offences against a minor, the court addressed whether an accused could recall witnesses examined by the prosecution. The court held that its previous confirmation of a victim's request to recall witnesses did not bar the accused from moving under Section 311 Cr.P.C. to advance justice.
What did the court decide?
No specific relief granted; the criminal miscellaneous case was dismissed because no specific application by the accused to avail of Section 311 Cr.P.C. was before the Court.
