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.
In the above para please tell me the meaning which has been mentioned under the query. pls tell me the meaning .
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.

in view of section 154 of the evidence act the defence has a right to even cross examin the witness. or otherwise record my request in order sheet or during the examination / xxxx examination of the witness that the ld. cl for defence wants to xxxx examin the witness but the request of the same is declined.
Prosecution means the person who prosecute the delinquient / or the person who has committed the crime and the same is tried by the person appointed by the state who will take care of the proceeding till the finalisation of the trial or thereafter.
