Correct Answer
(D) He does not become a witness and cannot be cross examined unless and until he is called as a witness
Explanation
Solution: The correct answer is Option D: He does not become a witness and cannot be cross-examined unless and until he is called as a witness. Let's break down why: Imagine someone is asked by the court to bring a specific document. This is called being summoned to produce a document. Option A is incorrect: Simply handing over a document doesn't automatically make them a witness. A witness gives testimony under oath. Options B and C are incorrect: Cross-examination is when lawyers question a witness to test the truth of their statements. If the person isn't a witness, they can't be cross-examined yet. Option D is correct: The person is only acting as a document provider, fulfilling a court order. Important point: They only become a witness if one of the parties (or the court) decides to call them as a witness to explain or verify the document. Only then can they be questioned (including cross-examined).
