order 11 of cpc

11. Order to answer or answer further

Where any person interrogated omits to answer, or answer insufficiently, the party interrogating may apply to the Court for an Order requiring him to answer, or to answer further, as the case may be. And an Order may be made requiring him to answer or answer further, either by affidavit or by viva voce examination, as the Court may direct.

As per your concerns!

Under Civil Procedure Code, 1908 Order 11 lays down discovery and inspection means a pre-trial procedural aspect wherein each party is allowed to obtain evidence from the opposite party or parties.

In other words, we can say that it is a formal process wherein the parties get a chance to exchange information regarding the witnesses and evidence which will be presented before the court during the trial.

The main purpose of discovery is to make parties aware of the case so that both the parties shall be clear about the plaint made and issues thereby.

Hope it helps
