No. Without cross examination the evidence can't be treated as a proper evidence. If the deponent died without cross examination mean its not a valid evidence.

untested evidence is no evidence . i agree with Mr Tom that unless witness is cross examined affidavit has no value

As our expert states i agree to that. but if a power of attorney holder on his behalf is placed on record and files an affidavit that can be accepted subject to the fact that he is capable to be in his [deceased] foot. whereas the evidence on record of the deceased is not valid evidence as it is untested

Sorry rajkumar laxman sir, as of your words, a power of attorney can be cross examined for the chief which is given by the deceased deponent? Impossible.

Mr tom is very right power of attorney holder can not be cross examined on the chief given by deceased deponent.
