PART VII
TRIAL, DEFENCE, VERDICT, ETC.
32. Rule for addresses by counsel to jury.
(2) Where the only witness to the facts of the case called by the defence is the person charged he shall be called as a witness immediately after the close of the evidence for the prosecution. In cases where the right of reply depends upon the question whether evidence has been called for the defence, the fact that the person charged has been called as a witness shall not of itself confer on the prosecution the right to reply ; but the right of reply shall be always allowed to the Director of Public Prosecutions, or to any counsel acting on behalf of the State.
