Question

what was the second question of the judage and what was the answer of the first witness.​

Answer 1

It is the judge’s power or right to put questions to witnesses related to a particular case which is expressly recognised in Section 165 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872. It is expected from the judge as well as it is his duty to be well aware of all the evidence presented before him to discover the truth. In order to give the fair verdict or judgement, it is mandatory for the judge to question witnesses on points which the lawyer have either willingly overlooked or left. If the judges are not satisfied with the way in which examination of witnesses is conducted by the lawyer he has the right and duty to intervene with the questions.
