498a victim please advice (o) 22 December 2020

false case 498A Party in Person

wife filled 498A on me, mom and dad.
total 3 accused.

Since 8 years contesting my case of 498A following all CrPC procedure. however judiciary working very slow which delays my matter.

question is, can my father accused no 3- can hire an advocate, but i- husband will continue to contest my case party in person ?

is this possible under which procedure ? plz guide.

During cross examination of wife, my father's advocate will cross examine related to the charges filled on him.

and the charges filled on me(husband) will do cross examine by myself.

will this be possible, if yes, please guide under which section and under which procedures ??

Perhaps, the question ought to be the reverse - has the Trial Court Judge empowered to prevent such a situation? The obvious answer, on a bare reading of the provisions of the CrPC cannot but be an emphatic NO.
