Evidence closed

Atish (Querist) 17 January 2013 This query is : Resolved
Dear All,
The petitioners cross is over and the lawyer of the petitioner has closed evidence.
Now the Respondent's cross has started and in the cross the petitioner's lawyer has got alot of false but new facts whithout and documented proof which was not even in the original petitions. He also says that he will bring those people as evidence which is going to prove nothing at all.
My question is that as he had closed evidence already after the petitioner's cross, is he still allowed to summon for new witnesses?
Regards
Atish

As the turn of the respondent evidence is going on so he has right to re-call the already examined witnesses if he convinces the court to ask some questions which he had erroneously left to ask.
