Product Description
"11000 Questions for Cross Examination of Witnesses" (Civil, Criminal & Medical), authored by Vivek Shandilya (Advocate), Dr. H.P. Gupta, and Professor (Dr.) Jai S. Singh (Vice-Chancellor), and published by Lex Man. It is a highly practical, ready-to-use guidebook tailored for defense counsels, trial lawyers, and legal practitioners in India.
The book serves as a massive repository of over 11,000 strategically curated questions designed to equip trial lawyers for the critical art of cross-examination. It transitions from traditional litigation practices by being strictly updated and based on the new criminal laws of India (the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam). The text balances tactical inquiry with statutory rules to expose contradictions, test witness credibility, and extract favourable facts.
