Order XVIII Rule 4 was substituted as per CPC amendment which came in to force from July, 2002. Or 18 Rl 4 more precisely the sub rule 1 reads as follows " in every case, the examination-in-chief of a witness shall be on affidavit and copies thereof shall be supplied to the opposite party.......". almost all killing the art of chief examination.
As per Order XIX rule I an affidavit is a declaration of as to facts made in writing and sworn before a person having authority to administer the oath.
The rule is that a decision on facts must be decided on evidence recorded in the court as provided under Or.18 rl 4.
As such if the plaintiff is giving his evidence in the form an affidavit as P.W.-1 he can mention all the aspects mentioned in the plaint., like wise a defendant of his written statement.
Because as per Or VI Rl I pleading shall means plaint and written statement.
The Documents filed either along with Plaint or Written Statement shall also be shown in a tabular form along with respective exhibit numbers in the evidence affidavit. The following is a format of Evidence affidavit filed in a simple suit for recovery of money due on a promissory note.
