Can false witness be cross-examined in CC case trial?
In a situation where a police report was closed based on a false witness statement, and a complaint case (CC case) was later initiated, can that witness (from the police report) be cross-examined during the trial stage of the CC case? If yes, under which section and through what legal process can such cross-examination be initiated in the Magistrate Court?
If a witness from a closed police report is involved in a complaint case (CC case), they can be cross-examined during the trial. This can be done under the law of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023, where the court allows questioning to check if their earlier statement was false, ensuring fairness in the case.
