It is the responsibility of your lawyer to bring out the truth through cross-examination.

Proceeding for cross is very technical and ability of lawyer would extract favorable material while unskilled lawyer would harm the defense.

Law does not specify exact lines of answers during cross.

if the court agrees him to be dropped from witnesses still you can call him as defence witness.

The court is right in the observation that the witness can be allowed to depose the evidence of whatever they may say which has not been covered in the earlier statement, however it may be nullified during cross examination by the defence lawyer by shooting appropriate questions to their new version of evidence.
