Nia case against partnership firm -cross examination issue

The Court concerned must ensure that examination-in-chief, cross-examination and re-examination of the complainant must be conducted within three months of assigning the case. The Court has option of accepting affidavits of the witnesses, instead of examining them in Court. Witnesses to the complaint and accused must be available for cross-examination as and when there is direction to this effect by the Court.

The act does not state that  the complainant should be examined by both the lawyers of 2 accused on the same day. They have to complete it within 90 days.

The complainant has no rights to insist on such a condition.  It will be infringing the rights of accused for defense.  The complainant cannot take defense on such grounds, his job is to prosecute the case, he cannot question the accused cross eamining him/her in the ways and modality that has been strategised  or designed by the accused in his defence. There is no question of filling up the lacuan here because both the accused have different counself to represent them separately.  The complainant hasnot right to speak about the advantage to the accused, he shouldrestrict himself only to his case and not beyond that, he cannot interfere in the defence strategy adopted by the accused lest it will be cnstrued that he is trying to thrust his decision to falsely prosecute the accused.
