Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Statements
Mine and a witness�s statements had been recorded in a Magistrate court in connection with a case and duly certified by the Magistrate to have been given on oath.
In an allied case before another Magistrate can I file these documents along with the petition in proof of the charges I am levying against the same respondent?

Re: Statements

These can be filed as Relevant documents. However, if you want the same to be part of evidence in the other court proceedings, then those person must be examined in those proceedings as witnesses.
