As per case facts, the applicant filed a criminal revision against orders from the Special Judge (POCSO Act) which dismissed applications under Sections 91 & 233 of Cr.P.C. (and later ... BNSS) to call defence witnesses, including scientific experts. The trial court cited delay in filing the application and the general admissibility of expert reports under Section 293 Cr.P.C., also noting the case as one of the oldest. The question arose whether the trial court was justified in rejecting the request to examine expert witnesses based on these grounds, especially when the accused wanted to challenge the DNA report. Finally, the High Court, citing Supreme Court precedents, ruled that while expert reports are generally admissible, the court has discretion to summon and examine experts, particularly when the accused objects to the report and seeks to cross-examine them. Emphasizing that justice should not be rushed at the cost of fair opportunity, the High Court set aside the trial court's orders, directing it to summon and record the statements of the expert and other requested witnesses before proceeding to a final decision.
