Legal provision for discarding evidence

Section 138 of the Indian Evidence Act lays down that before the cross-examination of the witness, he must first be examined-in-chief. This means a witness cannot be made to be cross-examined right away, (Sukhwant Singh v State of Punjab,) however cross-examination can extend to all the relevant facts of the case whether or not they were brought up during the chief examination.

If a witness after examination-in-chief doesn’t appear for the cross-examination when ordered by the court, his evidence becomes useless. (Gopal Sarvan V Satya Narayan.)

Raveenaji,

Happy to see the exact case law you mentioned in your reply.  Thanks a lot. Now there is another subquestion. 

Area 138 of the Indian Evidence Act sets out that before the round of questioning of the witness, he should first be analyzed in-boss. This implies a witness can't be made to be interviewed immediately, (Sukhwant Singh v State of Punjab,) Coursework Writing-EssayCorp however interrogation can reach out to all the applicable realities of the case regardless of whether they were raised amid the main examination.
