Which one among the following is the role of the trial judge under the provisions of Bhartiya Nagarik…

BNSS section 348 empowers the Court to summon or recall witnesses and requires evidence essential to a just decision to be obtained. Section 351 governs questioning the accused about incriminating circumstances. These powers support an active but impartial judicial role. Correcting an evidentiary omission is not automatically forbidden merely because it incidentally benefits the prosecution; the Judge must not become a partisan prosecutor.
