Can an unlisted witness (prosecution) be accepted in a trail

In a criminal trail, a CFSL officer is suddenly proposed by prosecution without prior intimation to defence lawyer. It was objected by the defence but judge kept aside the objection. The witness was present and deposed his witness. The judge has not given even a day's adjournment for cross examination and defence couldn't complete. Is it just and fair and stands for legal scrutiny?

You can file a revision petition before High court to set aside the trial court orders for not giving sufficient time for cross examination of the prosecution witness and a stay order to stall further proceedings by the trial court until then.
