my wife has filed a 498a case on me,this after a period of two years has come up for hearing .
now for cross examination of witnesses i & my lawyer have noted down arround 85 Questions. but also my lawyer is kind of eazy go type, he seems to be happy to procure a simple acquittal ( ie.. case dismissed because of insufficient evedince).
but I want to fight for a clean acquital (ie. case dismissed because all aligetations are proven false).
further the role of police officers was questionable,though i have enough evedience to project the irregularities commited,my lawyer is sugesting we should not cross examin the police officers.(probably because that might affect the other cases my lawyer is handeling).
i belive we have a strong case for clean acquital.
i want ti find out
1) if i as a accused/respondent can put aditional Questions to the witnesses in addition to my lawyer's questions. if he has missed / omited few questions.
2) dose indian evidence act have any provision wherein respondent can directly question the witness.
A genral tentency of judges is that theay dont give clean acquital but will dismiss the case on grounds of insuffecient evediences even if the accused is able to establish that the complaint was a lie with all due proofs
3)can any one suggest how to proceede the case so that a clean acquital is ensured.
4)is there any provisions like CPC 35A which i can request from the court aginst this false case
