Hello. I need some clarification and help.
In a Domestic Violence case, the Petitioner filed Affidavit-in-Chief. Then, on the day of her cross-examination, she filed an additional Affidavit-in-Chief.
The Respondent raised his objections on this. The Trial Court rejected the additional Affidavit-in-Chief, and cross-examination of the Petitioner began.. But she then filed the Revision application in the Sessions Court which also failed. The Court stated that there is no provision in law for an additional Affidavit-in-Chief. Now the matter is in High Court and her cross has not proceeded since.
My question is : What is the legal position on additional Affidavit-in-Chief ? Is it legally permissible ?
Thanks
Amita
