Section 33 (related to using prior testimony of a witness) does not apply if the other party did not get a chance to cross-examine the witness, or if the earlier proceeding didn’t involve the same issue. It’s mostly inapplicable in cases where fairness or legal conditions were not met in prior hearings. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
