Yeah then he can say he chooses not to answer - standing there being examined he does not say his lawyer will answer on his behalf. If thatâs how itâs done in the Indian courts - thatâs news to me.
And I can name multiple film court scenes - and Bollywood ones at that - where the accused is answering questions in the witness stand - and there is no pre-question asked regarding whether they choose to answer the question or not. So Rashmiâs common sense is not lacking from what I can see.
Besides, as far as Iâm concerned - Asim consented to being questioned when he hopped up on that stand. And regardless, as a witness he cannot have his lawyer answering on his behalf. Rashmi mein sense ho na ho, Shukla and Asim were clearly lacking in it from where I was watching. My view - and happy to leave it here.
