During the examination in chief of a prosecution witness he identified a xerox copy and deposed that it is a fax which was received by the accused. Since if was a xerox the Court marked it as "X" for the purpose of identification.
During cross examination when the prosecution witness was asked how do you say that the fax was received by the accused. He answered since it was addressed to the accused he had presumed that it was received by the accused. Thereafter the court marked it as an exhibit on the ground that the accused referred to the xerox in cross examination.
My question is what is the logic of this procedure? First when it was referred to by prosecution it was marked as X for purpose of identification since the same was xerox and thereafter when the accused cross examined the xerox it is marked as exhibit.
