Document Referred in Cross Examination...?

Document Referred in Cross Examination...... Exhibit.......Proof of Contents....!

                                     

                  

- Basically mere referring of document during cross examination does not mean it is admitted to the party referred it in cross examination.

- Even though it is not a law that document referred in cross examination shall be exhibited by court.

- But in many States it is a consistent practice followed by court that when a document is referred in cross examination to witness , it be exhibit.

- The above practice is for convenience and for purpose of locating , identifying the document referred in cross examination.

- In such case mere marking a document as exhibit by such process does not dispense with the requirement of proof of the execution , contents , genuineness of the document in accordance with the law of evidence.

- Also it's settled position of law that mere exhibition of document doesn't dispense with proof it's contents.

-Mere a fact has not been disputed in cross examination does mean it's an admitted fact.
