Cross Examination is intended for the purpose of extracting the truth and helping the court to reach correct judgement. The same also brings out favourable evidence for the party cross examining.

The right to cross-examine an opposing party's witnesses stems from the principles of natural justice and is universally recognized, though it is not an absolute.Cross-examination affords the adversary an opportunity to weaken the effect of testimony or to undermine the credibility of a witness. Any party adverse in interest may exercise this right.
Cross-examination may pertain to any fact in issue, even if no questions were asked about it in the examination in chief. However, it is the duty of the court to disallow questions that are irrelevant, useless, aggressive, vexatious or abusive, designed to badger a witness, or likely to bring the administration of justice into disrepute.
