PWDVA Cross examination

Soma (Querist) 11 January 2010 This query is : Resolved
In a PWDVA Case the magistrate directed me to crossexamine the complainant on the same day she given her evidence.
Is it mandatory to cross the same day of chief-examination?
Without preparation it couses great inconvenience.
Magistrate further ordered that if it is not done the same day then respondent will loose his right to cross.
What is the remedy?

It is not mandatory to cross examine the PW on the same day. You have sought for the time for the cross examination, you submit before the court to note your prayer and order the same what it has said in the order sheet. You can also file recall application for the cross examination, if your application rejects it will be good ground for an appeal and case will be remanded to lower court.
