Judgement Criminal Appeal No
The trial court failed to comply with the mandatory requirements of Section 231(4) of the Criminal Procedure Act by not assisting the appellant, who was in remand custody, to procure his defence witnesses. This omission violated the appellant's right to a fair trial and nullified the proceedings from the point of the omission.
