Wittness presence is not necessary, but complainant's presence is necessary

Thanks Bharatji
Need Supreme Court’s Case laws in matter of Section 311 CrPC, wherein due to non appearance of the advocate the PW were examined in absentia of the accused or his representative, and the cross examination was closed by the trial court but the SC has allowed the recall of witness and held that it is necessary in the interest of Justice to permit recall & Cross Examination of PW
