An affidavit of evidence, filed by complainant with in a cheque bouncing complaint was unattested. Summoning of accused was done. Accused appeared and during trial his counsel started cross examining the complainant on said unattested affidavit. During cross examination he putted the question of unattested affidavit. Cross was deferred after some questions. Is the unattested affidavit in given circumstances admissible in evidence? If not, what is the remedy?

What do you mean by 'unattested affidavit'? An affidavit is required to be sworn on solemnly affirmed.

If you are asking about affirmation then now affirmation of affidavit filed in court need not be affirmed.

Then how is it unattested? Anyhow, this is a curable defect.

It is un-curable technical as well as legal defect and inadmissible in evidence. However, seeking permission of Court (on an application) you may resubmit another affidavit in evidence.
