Cross Examination (Practice and Prcedure) by Justice P.S. Narayana
Book Overview
Cross-examination is a cornerstone of adversarial litigation — the stage where truth is tested and credibility is challenged. This book provides:
-
Comprehensive legal analysis of cross-examination principles under the Evidence Act, Civil Procedure Code, Criminal Procedure Code, and other relevant statutes.
-
Practical techniques and strategies for examining, impeaching, and attacking the testimony of witnesses effectively.
-
Coverage of special proceedings and modern statutes (e.g., human rights law, commercial courts, arbitration frameworks) and their impact on cross-examination practice.
-
Illustrative examples, model cross-examination scenarios, and courtroom-tested insights drawn from decades of judicial experience.
-
A systematic approach that helps readers bridge theory with real-world courtroom application.
The book’s structure guides the reader from foundational concepts — such as the nature of witnesses and principles of natural justice — to specific procedural applications in modern Indian litigation contexts.
