(1) Where the accused is not acquitted under section 232, he shall be called upon to enter on his defence and adduce any evidence he may have in support thereof.
(2) If the accused puts in any written statement, the Judge shall file it with the record.
(3) If the accused applies for the issue of any
process for compelling the attendance of any witness or the production of any
document or thing, the Judge shall issue such process unless he considers, for
reasons to be recorded, that such application should be refused on the ground
that it is made for the purpose of vexation or delay or for defeating the ends
of justice.
