Overall Insight:
Courts possess discretion to allow, reopen, or deny defence evidence, but must balance procedural fairness with justice. Critical factors include timely payment of costs, proper notification, and adherence to principles of a fair trial under the Criminal Procedure Code. Denial or closure of defence evidence without valid justification can violate the accused’s right to a fair hearing, but procedural lapses or delays can justify closure or refusal to reopen evidence.
