Dahyabhai Chhaganbhai Thakker versus State of Gujrat AIR 1964 SC 1563.

If a person refuses to face cross after filing chief - his evidence is not read as record, infact an adverse inference can be drawn against him u/s 114 of the Indian Evidence Act - i.e the court may presume that had he entered witness box - it would have hurt his interests i.e got something to hide which falsity would have come up in cross.

agreed, chief w/o cross is not admissible.
