Quick Summary

In a criminal case, when cross-examining a witness, it is permissible to ask questions about statements they previously made to the investigating officer. Even if the witness's testimony in court differs from their initial police statement, you can still use this to highlight contradictions. There are no restrictions preventing you from exploring these discrepancies during cross-examination.

In the criminal case, there is no bar in questioning about his statement given before police, you can always extract contradictory statements from the witnesses during cross examination.
