Is there a time limit(eg, 90 days) within which cross exam need to happen after evidence filing??

niky...... (Querist) 01 May 2015 This query is : Resolved
I am defendant and Plaintiff has given evidence in court in month of March 20. During last hearing of court i.e April 28, I took a next hearing date as i am yet to finalize my new lawyer. Now the next hearing date i got is July 20.
Is it fine that almost after 90 days, my lawyer will take a cross examine?
Is there any time bound within which cross exam needs to happen after filing of evidence or it will be fine to wait till next hearing?

Thank you.

Consult your lawyer, the witness is to be cross-examined on the very first date, however, the court may grant an opportunity.

The court has posted the matter considering the summer vacation and subsequent burden of work of the court. Since this is a court order, you go by it. There is no hard and fast rule that the cross examination has to be done on the same day of evidence in chief.
