yes, when the accused is called for questioning u/s 313 of criminal procedure code, he can ask the court to call for the report and also recall the witness for cross examination. the amplitude of sec. 313 is wide enough and gives ample opportunity to the accused to defend himself by calling or recalling witnesses.
