My friend's daughter got registered FIR under section 498a of IPC. She made a statement in the court after police filed charge sheet. She missed to mention certain points which she now wants to add either by way of a fresh statement or in continuation of her earlier statement.
Can she do so ? If yes, under which section.
Thanks
