April 5, 2025 at 9:19 amIn normal circumstances, witness has to be present before court to depose. Because they also need to mark their signatures on their cross examination. Cross is not permitted on VC. However, in cases where the witness is ailing/bed ridden, the concerned party can file an application for appointment of Local commissioner for recording of evidence, who can conduct the evidence at the residence of the witness, by following due procedure.-
