Validity to submit affidavit-in-chief under order 18 rule 4

In a Civil Case the Plaintiff Advocate submitted two Affidavit-in-Chief before the Court and the Date of swearing of two Affidavit-in-Chief was swear on 21-01-2011 and the same was submitted before the Court on 19-12-2011 and the next date fixed for cross-examination of those witness.

Now my question is that ;

1.  Whether there is any Limitation to submit Affidavit-in-Chief under Order 18, Rule 4 of CPC after its swearing ?

2. Is those affidavits-in-chief's have any legal force and acceptable as evidence  ?

3.  Whether there is any law in this aspect ?

Whatever the date of submission,but when he enters in the box,he will have to verify the affidavit on oath. and then only it will be evidence and not before that.
