Practice question
The prosecutor was duly notified of the ordered Section13 defense examination but does not attend. Must the examination necessarily be cancelled solely for that absence?
- The witness must be imprisoned instead
- Yes; absence always vetoes the order
- Only the accused’s confession can proceed
- The order automatically becomes void
- No; the rule permits it to proceed despite the duly notified prosecutor’s absence
