Recalling witness

(1) The court shall have full power and authority during any part of the trial, or after the case on both sides has been closed, to call and examine any witness, whether produced before the court in the course of the trial or not. (2) If the witness is not in attendance the court may order that his attendance may be procured and the court may, if it thinks fit adjourn the further hearing of the cause to some other time during the sitting until that witness attends, or if it is of the opinion that it would be conducive to the ends of justice to do so, on the application of the accused person or the Director of Public Prosecutions, discharge the jury and postpone the trial.
