The defence
257. The accused person or the advocate or other person defending him 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; and the accused person may then give evidence on his own behalf and he or the advocate or other person defending him may examine his witnesses (if any), and after their cross-examination and re-examination (if any) may sum up his case.
Additional witnesses for the defence

Provided that no accused person shall be entitled to any adjournment to secure the attendance of any witness unless he shows that he could not by reasonable diligence have taken earlier steps to obtain the presence of the witness.
