Bal Gangadhar Tilak vs Shri Shriniwas Pandit on 26 March, 1915

(see Bal Gangadhar Tilak v. Shrinivas Pandit 42 Indian Appeals 135 at page 147). The Judicial Committee in that case said, "it has to be observed with regret and with surprise that the general principle and the specific statu- tory provisions have not been followed". The general prin- ciple is that before any person is to be faced with any statement he should be given an opportunity to see that statement and to answer the same. The specific statutory provision is contained in Section 145 of the Indian Evidence Act that "A witness may be cross-examined as to previous statements made by him in writing or reduced into writing, and relevant matters in question, without such writing being shown to him or being proved; but if it is intended to contradict him by the writing, his attention must, before the writing can be proved, be called to those parts of it which are to be used for the purpose of contradicting him".
