Analysis and Conclusion:
The consensus across these sources is that the right to cross-examine witnesses is a vital component of a fair judicial process. While procedural norms may require formal applications or affidavits, denial of cross-examination without valid jurisdiction or proper cause constitutes a violation of principles of natural justice. Courts have consistently held that such violations can be rectified by setting aside orders and restoring the right to cross-examine, emphasizing that cross-examination should not be denied casually or arbitrarily, even without a formal written request. Therefore, parties seeking cross-examination must adhere to procedural requirements, but courts must also ensure that this right is not denied arbitrarily or without valid cause.
