Right to Cross-Examine in Court Cannot Be Forfeited for Refusing Residence Examination : Chhattisgarh HC

Chhattisgarh High Court ruled that a party’s right to cross-examine a witness in court cannot be forfeited merely because they refuse to conduct it at the witness’s residence, even if a commission was issued. The court emphasized that fair trial rights under natural justice prevail over procedural convenience, ensuring due process in matrimonial disputes.
