In Sec 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act there is no provision for reopening of cross examination however it depends upon case to case.

Section 311 of Cr. P. C sir. it empowers you to recall the witness and you can file it any time before the judgment provided you have a strong point to explain the reason.

tHERE IS NOTHING SPECIAL TO 138 RAHUL. Cr.P.C IS APPLICABLE TO THE TRIAL. SO IF YOU WANT TO RECALL THE WITMNESS FILE A PETITIONE U/S 311 Cr.P.C AND CONVINCE THE COURT THE NEED AND REQUIREMENT FOR THE SAME. THE COURT MAY PARMIT YOU TO RECALL THE WITNES AND CROSS EXAMINE ON THE POINT WHICH YOU ASKED FOR. YOU ARE CONFINED TO THAT SPECIFIC PURPOSE.

Yes you can. Entire trail has to be conducted as per Cr.P.C. Better to file an application u/s 311 of Cr.P.C to recall the witness for cross examination.

As per sec 311 crpc, evidence can be reopened, At any stage provided sufficient reason is shown.
In NI Act, there need not be any specific provision for reopening, as the trial is conducted according to the provisions of crpc and sec 311 specifically provides for reopening the closed evidence at any stage, before the pronouncement of judgement, on furnishing sufficient reasons.so all you you have to do is to file a petition u/s 311 crpc.

In every case, the closed evidence can be reopened even just before pronouncing judgment.File a 311 petition. There are so many S.C verdicts in this aspects.
