<h1>Section 149 Limits Cross-Examination: Protects Victims from Questions on Past Sexual History in Consent Cases.</h1> Section 149 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, outlines the scope of questions permissible during the cross-examination of a witness. It allows questions aimed at testing the witness's veracity, identifying their background and social standing, or challenging their credibility by affecting their character, even if such questions might incriminate or expose them to penalties. However, in cases involving specific offenses under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, questions regarding the victim's general immoral character or past sexual experiences are prohibited when consent is an issue.
