Re cross examination of a witness in a n i act case

In a N I Act case, I have cross examined the complainent, but forgot to ask a vital question regarding limitation period. Is there any provision to re cross examine the witness? Any case law? Pl help.

Quick Summary

A user in an NI Act case forgot to ask a crucial question about the limitation period during the complainant's cross-examination and is seeking advice on re-cross examination. The suggested solution is to file a petition under Section 311 of the Cr.P.C. to recall the complainant. While this is a discretionary power of the court, it may be allowed if the reasons provided are satisfactory.
