\nThe correct option is B) He cannot be cross-examined.
\n<\/section>\n
\nSection 139 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 explicitly states: “A person summoned to produce a document does not, by the mere fact that he produces it, become a witness, and cannot be cross-examined unless he is called as a witness.”
\n<\/section>\n
\nSimply producing a document in court does not make the person a witness for the purpose of examination-in-chief or cross-examination regarding the facts of the case. They are merely fulfilling a court order to present a specific document. Only if the party calling for the document decides to call this person to testify as a witness on other matters can they then be examined and potentially cross-examined.
