Mukesh Ram v. the State of Chhattisgarh
Case brief
What is this about?
A revision petition challenged a trial court order refusing re-cross-examination of a child witness who had answered court-framed leading questions ambiguously. The High Court cancelled the trial court's 'questioning order', directed that the witness's cross-examination be completed on the fixed date, and allowed ₹2,000 as witness travel expenses.
What did the court decide?
Trial court's questioning order set aside; one further date fixed for completion of witness's cross-examination; ₹2,000 witness expenses to be paid.
