Sir/Madam,
I am advocate practicing for last 3 months. My senior died unexpectedly, so some of his cases have come to me. Sir, I now handling a case: Details are as:
1.case booked u/s 338 in 1999.
2.Case status - Evidence
3.Total 12 Witnesses. Witness 1 is the complainant, w2 is also complainant, w3-w7 are persons who saw the accident, w8 is doctor, w9 is some expert witness, w10 is constable, w11 is IO who conducted investigation, w12 is IO who filed chargesheet.
4. Out of 12 witnesses, only w12, w10 and w8 came for court to give evidence. All other witnesses including complainants did not come to court inspite of repeated summons.
5. Case is now posted for cross-examination of w12, w10 and w8 in next month.
