The judgment recognizes the psychological harm caused by prolonged courtroom scrutiny of traumatized witnesses.<\/p>\n<p style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:3px solid #1e3270;padding:10px 14px;border-radius:0 6px 6px 0;font-size:.92em;color:#1e3270;\"><strong>Why it matters:<\/strong> This protects vulnerable witnesses from procedural harassment while preventing defences from compensating for poor case preparation, balancing fair trial rights with victim protection.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:.83em;color:#6b7280;margin-top:10px;\">\n    <strong>Source:<\/strong><br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/05\/30\/sc-on-recall-of-witness-under-section-311-crpc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n       style=\"color:#c8993e;\">Supreme Court of India<\/a><br \/>\n    &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;30 May 2026, 07:30 AM IST<br \/>\n    &nbsp;\u00b7&nbsp;<br \/>\n    <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/blog\/post\/2026\/05\/30\/sc-on-recall-of-witness-under-section-311-crpc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\n       style=\"color:#c8993e;\">Read full text \u2192<\/a>\n  <\/p>\n<\/article>\n<article id=\"item-3\" style=\"margin-bottom:36px;padding-bottom:28px;border-bottom:1px solid #e5e7eb;\">\n<h2 style=\"color:#142048;font-size:1.3em;margin-bottom:6px;\">\n    <span style=\"background:#142048;color:#fff;border-radius:4px;padding:2px 8px;\n                 font-size:.7em;vertical-align:middle;margin-right:8px;\"><br \/>\n      Criminal Law<br \/>\n    <\/span><br \/>\n    3.
