There is an allegation in FIR about additional dowry demand( DP4) but during the complainant chief examination she has not mentioned anything on additional dowry demand. In the FIR, it is a single liner allegation saying additional dowry was demanded and no other associated incidents with it
Does defence counsel need to cross examine on this additional dowry demand ? or it need not be cross examined since this allegation was not mentioned during chief
What would be the right questions for the defence counsel to counter the additional dowry demand.
Please provide your valuable feeback. Thank you !
