Section 190

The accused or his advocate may then open his case, stating the facts or law on which he intends to rely and making such comments as he thinks necessary on the evidence for the prosecution.

He may then examine his witnesses, if any, and after their cross-examination and re-examination, if any, may sum up his case.

If any accused person elects to be called as a witness, his evidence shall be taken before that of other witnesses for the defence.

Any accused person who elects to be called as a witness may be cross-examined on behalf of any other accused person.

The accused shall be allowed to examine any witness not previously named by him under the provisions of this Code if that witness is in attendance. [189
