Sir,
In a complaint filed under CrPC 156(3) ,I wanted to reply in writing to other party's observations/objections on my application to go abroad.But my lawyer said ," written reply is generally given in civil cases. And in criminal cases it is argued and then statements taken if any ."As aresult I missed out opportunity of giving all details to judge which would erode credibilty of my opponent . Is my lawyer right in advising me not to give in writing as above?
