In which of the following judgements delivered by the Supreme Court in 2015, it was held that "it is imperative if the examination-in-chief is over, the cross-examination should be completed the same day"?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Vinod Kumar condemned lengthy postponement of cross-examination after examination-in-chief, including the delay that allowed a witness to be influenced. Paragraph 41 states the same-day rule while expressly recognising continuation to the following day when examination runs late. This is not an absolute denial of every lawful, reasoned adjournment.
