Cross examination

one shall careful before signing the depositiion, he shall read it.  As a matter of fact if deponent is illeterate the judge shall read voer the contnets of deposition of wittnes. But the work burden no judge do that duty.  so every deponent shall read carefully before signing the deposition. it is the only remedy to avoid these types of problem.

Though it is minor o the part of writer of statement, but blunder on the part of witness and advocate. Such witness may be recalled and may clarify the mistake.

Usually in court,after the deposition is over,it is written that it was read ovoer to the witness,but it practice it is not done so,nor signature of the witness is taken.in the present case an application is required tobe given to recall the witness for specific purpose.i agree with Mr. Arvind.

Hi Venkat,

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am the accused.  I am fighting a false dowry case.

Thank you

Your status is not relevant to reply your quarry. Logically such errors can be corrected on recalling the witness again in the witness box by either party.

Hello Raj kumarji,

The witness who was the investigating officer was asked just 3 questions.  When we (Accused) got the order sheet.  One question asked to the I.O was missing.  The remaining two questions were regarding dates, both of which were typed wrong.

The problem for him is that if he lies, he will be in trouble and if he tells the truth, the defence will become weak.

It could be accidental or intentional.  But what precaution can we take if it had  happened happened intentionally.  Since recalling of the witness in time consuming and we want to finish the case as soon as possible.

Thank you
