Fighting my own case

This query is : Resolved
I have been falsely implicated us 138.
The story so far:
Earlier counsel was negligent and did not file my reply in time. Cross examination of complainant opportunity gone after 3 hearings. Chaned my counsel as advised by judge.
2nd counsel sends his junior who has no knowledge of procedures like application filing and all. Further weakened my case.
Cross examination formally closed and my Exam-in chief started and is midway.
For you expert people I got the advice that S-311 should be invoked to re-consider closure of cross examination.
MY QUESTION:
THOUGH NOT BOASTING OF MYSELF BUT IF GIVEN A CHANCE FOR CROSS EXAMINATION OF COMPLAINANT- I CAN PROVE MY INNOCENCE IN ONE HEARING.
SO IF MATTERS BECOME WORSE AND MY COUNSEL IS NOT ABLE TO HANDLE IT- IS THERE A WAY WHERE I CAN DIRECTLY CROSS-EXAMINE THE COMPLAINANT AND WITNESS??

Yes you can but cross examination is a double edge weapon so be careful if it would not harm you.
