The plaintiff is not bringing any evidence since the last one year and has exceeded the 3 opportunities and has recently submitted an affidavit, but without a separate statement. Can my advocate being the defendant's advocate cross examine her?

In Indian legal proceedings, it is crucial for both parties to present their evidence and witnesses to establish their case. If the plaintiff has not brought any evidence for the past year and has exceeded the permissible opportunities to do so, it may be considered a delaying tactic. In this scenario, the defendant's advocate may have the right to cross-examine the plaintiff if the plaintiff has submitted an affidavit without a separate statement.

Cross-examination is a fundamental right of the defendant to test the veracity and credibility of the evidence presented by the plaintiff. However, the specific rules and procedures governing cross-examination may vary depending on the nature of the case and the court in which the matter is being heard.

It is important for the defendant's advocate to review the relevant laws and court procedures to ensure that the cross-examination is conducted in compliance with the legal requirements. Additionally, the advocate may also consider filing appropriate motions or applications to address the plaintiff's delay in presenting evidence to the court.
