This query is : Resolved
I have filed a case for recovery of dues against returned cheque paid against due bill under N I act.After long the defendant prayed for cross examination.In cross examination first of all he claimed about company's registration and legal documents.I have submitted government registration certificates and last 3 years accounts and I T return.On verifying and cross examining about the same now the lawyer has started questioning about other deals with his family members out which maximum are wrong.So under this circumstances I have following queries please help me out:
1) Can I deny answering to question not related to this particular case?
2) Can I pray to lordship to ask the opponent to stick to the particular case.
Please advice any other action I should take to safeguard my interest.
Thanking you in advance

1. Yes, you can.
you can say that this has no relevance to the current case.
2. You cannot. The court will automatically restrict the advocate to ask the questions pertaining to the current case alone

This is a criminal case. Cross examination of the complainant need not be restricted to related matter. Objection, if any, has to be raised by the complainant's advocate,
