Inquiry when closed with defence, Prosecution when entitled to reply and give evidence

If the person accused makes only an oral defence and produces no evidence, the inquiry shall end with the defence; if he records a written defence or produces evidence, the prosecutor shall be entitled to a general oral reply on the whole case, and may also produce evidence to contradict any evidence produced for the defence, although such new evidence were not included in the list furnished to the accused person. The Commissioner may, if he thinks fit, allow the person accused, opportunity to produce evidence to contradict such new evidence.
