Un identifying the accused by eye witness

yes my friend it is a crucial for you becuse an eyewitness has been hostile and given the statment befor the public prosecutor that main accused is not before the court u can make argue before the court.

Thank u sir .. is there any citations in connection to that aspect of evidence Act

please let us know for which part you are appearing. if you are appearing for the accused and the eye witness turned hostile, it is good for you and if you are conducting for the de facto complainant, you can declare the eye witness as hostile and do the corss examination as well.
