We desire to say at the same time that the Magistrate was wrong in not allowing the petitioner to cross-examine Nayanmunjari, when she was in the box. There is nothing in Section 165 of the Evidence Act debarring or disqualifying a party to a proceeding from cross-examining any witness called By the Court. All that Section 165 says is that a party to a proceeding should not be allowed to cross-examine a witness upon an answer given by him to a question put by the Court without the permission of such Court. In this connection, we need only direct the attention of the Magistrate to the cases of Tarini Charan Chowdhry v. Saroda Svndari Dasi 3 B. L. R. A. C. 145 (158) and The Empress v. Grish Chunder Talukdar J. L. R. 5 Cal. 614.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.
