Court witness is a witness which the court has summoned for clarity/knowledge/receiving of certain documents or facts. The Judge uses the deposition of the CW for the consideration accordingly. The CW is counted as a witness only neither prosecution nor defence can assume him/her to be their witness.

When a witness makes mention of the name of the another witness during his testimony before court, ascertain whether the other witness is named in charge sheet or not and if he is a charge-sheet witness, after writing his name, indicate his rank as charge-sheet witness. (For example CW3). If that charge-sheet witness has already been examined as a prosecution witness then give the rank assigned to him when he was examined before court.
