Sir,
A civil case and criminal case is pending against the litigants.
The defendant in a civil case has in the deposition in cross examination admitted that his son has assaulted the owner and injured him and the same has been recorded in the honorable court.
In a criminal case filed against the son of the above defendant under sec 324 IPC, the accused son has denied to have assaulted the owner.
Can the deposition of the father be taken as evidence against the son in the assault as the father has admitted to their son's involvement.
Pl clarify.Any provisions or citations
Thanks
