Dear Sir,

I am not understood fully .... do you say based on the Statement U/s 243(1) Court will allow the prosecution to cross-examine the Accused who field the Statement U/s 243(1) of CrPC .....

Condition that to file Statemet U/s 243(1) of CrPC there is no need to file permission petition U/s 315 of CrPC ..... in the absence of petition U/s 315 of CrPC can the accused enter into witness box to give evidence under Oath follwed by Cross-Examination ....?
