You want to help one of your friend in Allahabad for a case filed by his wife u/s 498A IPC in the stage of final argument, as stated by you, what is the opinion of the counsel engaged by the accused?

Another lawyer is stated to have been engaged by respondent/your friend for a case of divorce filed in Bengaluru, wherein the case is in the stage of cross-examination of petitioner wife of your friend, what is opinion and advise of the lawyer engaged by your friend?

Before rendering help to your friend on the question of provision of law qua cross- examination of witness, which you are stating to be unaware, I would suggest you to read Indian Evidence Act twice.

What is the purpose of engaging/continuing with an incompetent lawyer, as confirmed/stated by you.

No suggestion/advise can be rendered without going through entire case file(s).

Prima facie the query is an examination hall question paper.
