Defendants not filing affidavit of evidence in civil suit

SSng Aulakh (Querist) 19 January 2015 This query is : Resolved
Madam/Sirs,
In civil suit original side. Defendants have already filed their respective affidavits of written statements at earlier dates. At present the matter is on evidence stage. Evidence and cross examination of Plaintiff is over.

Court passed order and gave tentative date to defendants for filing their affidavits of evidence. If Defendants do not file Affidavits of evidence despite the Court order. (Since officers of the Defendant Company are aware that the written statements filed earlier is false submissions, probably they do not want to get into further trouble by filing again affidavit of evidence on the same lines.

In this case, what next step the Hon'ble Court will take and the Plaintiff should press for before court ?

Court would proceed by closing the evidences of defendants, if not submitted despite several opportunities given.

If there seems to be inordinate delay by the defence side for their evidence,the plaintiff's advocate may press for closure of defence evidence before the court.
