Similar to the 498A IPC case timeline available here, in this current post, I am sharing timelines and redacted petitions that I filed in the DV Case.
Take little pains to have them drafted for your cases.
Do NOT ask me word versions. Even if you ask, I will NOT give 😉

Conducted Cross-examination of PW1/OP – Day 5
As expected, posed final set of Cross examination questions to PW1 and finished this stage. That’s when I understood and realized that, there are other PWs.. Hmm. I should have sought for and got List of Witnesses even before beginning the Cross of PW-1. Lesson (known, but forgotten) learnt. Hence, Arguments stage is few more dates away.
Here are the final set of Cross questions that I posed to PW-1 and few that I couldn’t ask.
