Section 144 BSA | Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023
Cross- examination of person called to produce a document.
A person summoned to produce a document does not become a witness by the mere fact that he produces it, and cannot be cross-examined unless and until he is called as a witness.
Section 148 BSA | Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023
Cross- examination as to previous statements in writing.
A witness may be cross-examined as to previous statements made by him in writing or reduced into writing, and relevant to matters in question, without such writing 35 being shown to him, or being proved; but, if it is intended to contradict him by the writing,
his attention must, before the writing can be proved, be called to those parts of it which are
to be used for the purpose of contradicting him.
