Cheque bounce case

I have filed a case of cheque bounce u/s 138 of NI Act o/b of complainant. THe complainant has given an affidavit and the court has given me a date for verification. I want to know first how the verification done by the honourable court and as advocate for complainant, what should I ask the complainant in examination-in-chief. Can the judge ask me immediately after verification to take examination-in-chief.

Please explain in detail as this is my first case.

Thanks.

The procedure is called Sworn statement - The judge may examine about the content of the affidavit and not beyond that. It is the first step before Admitting/Numbering a Cheque case.

Now, Some judges were numbering the Cheque case directly on the affidvait itself by dispnesing the "Sworn statment". it is up to the court.
