Hi All,
My(Defendant's) lawyer was asking questions to Plaintiff during first session of cross exam, but judge asked to go in sequence. But he didn't said if sequence should be by plaint or by evidence filed by plaintiff?
Which document should be considered for sequential cross exam?

The cross examination cna be made in any order. Judge cna not force to put questions in sequence.

Thank you sir for replying. I thought the same, as the questions asked by my lawyer was of background of the suit to set perspective and context. But after judge raised this objection, my lawyer said okay and the cross will happen in next session.

judge can object to the questions not directly related to the case.

Perfectly advised by Shri Devajyoti Barman. Except disallowance of the irrelevant questions by a lawyer, defence strategy of a defence lawyer cannot be directed by the judge.
