Dear members,
I wish to have any judgement (Supreme Court) which shows that a defendant should be given every opportunity to defend himself?
Is there any such judgement?
Background.
I had signed, without reading, a joint written statement. After 7 years , when I came to know of it, I filed for permission to file separate statement (proposed written statement was filed along with this application).
Permission was not granted because of objection from other parties, who do not want the truth to be revealed.
I filed appeal, appeal was admitted and now apppeal has come up for hearing.
I need judgements (preferably Supreme Court judgements) which show that I can file separate written statement to reveal the truth.
I feel that a defendant (myself) should be gven full opportunity to defend himself (in this case , by being allowed to file my separte statement)
Pls let me me know if this is possible (urgent pls as appeal is on weekly board in High Court in Mumbai.
Thanks
Ramesh Bajaj
