This query is : Resolved
In a criminal case one prosecution witness got hostile. When there was my turn to cross examine,learned magistrate said, "if the witness turns hostile defence has no right to cross examine him, only prosecution has right". I wanted to draw out some more favourable points from this witness by cross examining him, but court objected and directed to show the provision.
Query : 1) I am confused becasue as per me i think prosecution means behind the bars but the abovementioned prosecution is something other pls explain me the term "prosecution " & there rights in civil in criminal cases in any court till supreme court.
2)witness turns hostile defence means what also the meaning of defence in civil & criminal cases & meaning of hostile witness , Unfavourable witness if possible with the help of a example.
PLS TELL ME THE MEANING & ANSWER OF THE QUERY.
Thanks In Advance.
