in cross examination no explanation/voluntary evidence be let in. No cross examination in writing All questions relating to witness. It is your lawyer to curb the scandalous/irrelevant questions the answer for the question is yes or no.

I do agree with Ganesan nd additionally inform you that the concerned judge has no role in providing the copies of any statement recorded in court file. You shall have to apply it in the copying branch which shall do as per its procedure and you have to collect applied copies from that branch only.

its clear that only relevant questions can be asked during cross examination....
leading questions are those which are to be answered either in YES or NO....these can not be asked during Examination in Chief, but can be asked during Cross Examination.
but it does not meant that the witness will not be given opportunity to explain the answer.
if the judge is biased then you may seek transfer of the matter on the ground that you were not being allowed to give proper replies during cross examination....however it does not mean that you can threat a court for your own vested interest...
a judge is duty bound to confine the matter to relevant aspects of the matter...your personal opinion may not conform to the settled law...so consult some good local lawyer prior to taking any harsh step...

Agreed with the members: But for clear understanding of the matters in Examination in chief; Cross Examintion and Re Examination under the Indian evidence Act, refer the case of Tanala Satyanaryana Vs Tanali Ramarao and Others of the Supreme Court Judgment delivered by Justice D.S.R.Varma,J on 23/12/2005: Equivalent Citation: 2006(2)ALD 542,2006 (1) ALT 718.

Thanks, Gone through the sections of Evidence Act now and also judgments.
Can a person call him himself for Re Examination after the Cross Examination is over if his lawyer is not present in the court and clarify his position of what statement he has made so it is not misconstrued as something else later during the arguments.
If Yes, Can he only be Reexamined in the end of the total Cross Examination or during the middle of the Cross Examination also .
