In a case, the 2nd defendant failed to file proof affidavit and his evidence was closed and posted for arguments of the plaintiff side. it has been 4 hearings and arguments have not commenced yet.
at this stage the 2nd defendant files 3 applications - receipt of documents, reopen and recall petition to mark the documents.
1) My question is, since the defendant has not let in even chief examination itself , can he file just one application to reopen his evidence ignoring receipt of documents and recall petition ?
2) If receipt of documents petition is allowed , is it mandatory for the court to allow the reopen and recall application as well ?
Thanx in advance...
