Jamatraj Kewalji Govani vs The State Of Maharashtra on 4 April, 1967
10. The object of Section 311 is to bring on record evidence
not only from the point of view of the accused and the
prosecution but also from the point of view of the orderly
society. If a witness called by the court gives evidence
against the complainant, he should be allowed an
opportunity to cross-examine. The right to cross-examine
a witness who is called by a court arises not under the
provisions of Section 311, but under the Evidence Act
which gives a party the right to cross-examine a witness
who is not his own witness. Since a witness summoned
7
by the court could not be termed a witness of any
particular party, the court should give the right of cross-
examination to the complainant. These aspects were
highlighted in Jamatraj Kewalji Govani v. State of
Maharashtra (1967 (3) SCR 415).
