In criminal case is this mandatory?That Io(police officer) will be signed witnesses while record their statement.
maybe not sec 161 CRPC
During cross examine can we ask question from Io(mentioned below).If case fact say that Io has fake fir regd against me (Accused).In my case complainant recorded his statement before magistrate that Io has falsely recorded his statement,I have not any complaint from Accused.In my case there is no material but Io was arrested on statement of one witness(complainant) only ,Then I got anticipatory in same court,then regular ,But complainant refused itself before magistrate that He had never statement to police that Accused had cheated with me.Io had not got signature of complainant while took his statement.
Now During Cross Examine can I ask this question from Io(police officer) that
1.Why you had false/fake case regd against me(accused)?
2.Are you right you had done proper Investigation of this case ?By stating that complainant has told me you had false statement recorded,He has no complaint to me (accused)
3. can I behave(During Cross Examine)from Io ,when did he was attended me in police station,like put question continuous to shame him before magistrate?
Thanks
