Quick Summary

If you've mistakenly marked the wrong exhibit numbers on documents during a witness's cross-examination, and the case is already at the final arguments stage, there are specific procedures. While documents, once exhibited and numbered, generally cannot be de-exhibited or renumbered, you can bring the clerical or typing error to the court's attention. The court will then consider the mistake and decide on the appropriate course of action.

What are the facts? Please post complete facts.

prima facie the query is misconceived; it is the Court that marks the documents.

No, once a document is exhibited and marked exhibit number then neither the document de-exhibited nor it's number can be changed however you can bring this fact in notice of court and court may consider if mistake is clerical or typing.

It cannot be changed at the final argument stage of the case it would have no implication if it is change of numbering.
However, you may mention the error to the Trial Court
