This query is : Resolved
Ld Counsels,
Is it mandatory to confront witness and defacto complainant with the statement made in FIR which contradicts the statement made in the evidence before court on oath.
In FIR it is stated that husband took the wife to her house but in her evidence she stated she left with her father from her matrimonial home. She was not confronted specifically, on this, can accused take any benefit of this contradictin though not confronted. What is stated in FIR was false
Thanks

Since FIR is a marked document, even if it is not confronted with the person who makes it the accused may be benefited .
