This query is : Resolved
Please help me solve this preposition
The petitioner in a probate case examined an attesting witness to the will who was cross examined by the objecter. The evidence of the objecter has begun , the objecter wants to examine, as his own witness , the attesting witness to the will whom he had cross examined earlier. It is his case that the said attesting witness had on an earlier occasion deposed under pressure from the petitioner and now wants to give the correct statement.
The issue is : Whether the objecter can be permitted to examine as his own witness, the witness whom he had cross examined earlier.
What could be the arguments in favour of petitioner???

A witness can be recalled for the purpose of explaining any evidence in chief or for cross examination. I am not sure what exactly you meant to say by 'examine as own witness'.

Examine as his own witness hereby means that objecter is saying the person whom he had cross examined is his witness not of opposite party

"witness had on an earlier occasion deposed under pressure from the petitioner and now wants to give the correct statement."
Agreed with expert Mr. Devajyoti Barman.

If the witness say that previous witness before the court was under pressure, his witness may not be believed by the court.
