No. you will have to lead your evidence.
ANIL (HR) 11 May 2012
Accused wants to use the averments in the complaint in his favor. In the complaint the Complainant had leveled inconsistent allegations, whereas in the evidence Complainant had limited to one allegation. Unfortunately the defense failed to bring on record the inconsistency in the complaint at the trial. Does the accused has any remedy now. Matter is now at the stage of argument.
