Re: evidance act
my dear friend alexander pope an english poet once said ..."a little learning is a dangerous thing."don't be misled by the so called 1970 judgement of supreme court.a lot of water has passed under the bridge.in cross examination a counsel can ask such a question and get away with it by saying that this question will show the past conduct and character of the witness.he can also say that he only wanted to determine if the witness is a habitual offender or has committed a similar type of offence earlier also.so in my opinion no case for defamation is made out and even if you succeed in filing a complaint any decent lawyer can convince the hon'ble court to dismiss your plea on the abovesaid grounds.roopesh kumar sharma advocate.
