This query is : Resolved
I have filled private complaint u/s. 200 of Cr.P.C. for dowry death u/s. 498, 306 of IPC.
At the time of filling the complaint I filled list of witnesses.
But in the Investigation made by police u/s. 156(3) of Cr.P.C. above witnesses doesn't support my complaint. hence police submitted Report u/s. 169 of Cr.P.C.
Now I filled Protest Petition and at this stage 4 new witnesses are ready to lead evidence. can they filled affidavit as witnesses even I doesn't listed in the complaint and police also not esquire to them as witnesses. if yes under what provision of Cr.P.C. & Evidence Act. Please Guide.
Thank You.
