If an application for adjournment is moved in normal cases court is granting time for cross examination of any witness. In some cases court is insisting to ask few question to witness and than time shall be granted. Cross examination by advocate of Supreme Court can be done even in Mamlatdar/ Executive Magistrate court, if one is ready to appear before lower court

Right of Cross examination is available to the party and his advocate. Advocate could be any one, be it may from lower court or from High Court. It can be done on the same day or could be deferred only on strong reasons. the supreme court says that if the witness is present, the testimony should be tried to be completed on the same day.
