Respected Members, Kindly advise me. I am a petitioner in divorce case and matter posted for filing claim affidavit. Can I include in my claim affidavit the facts regarding the issues that have appeared in the written statement of respondent and which I have not pleaded in my petition. Is it possible for me to do so. Please extend your valuable guidance. Regards.

Yes. why not. If facts brought by respondent are mentioned in the her written statement, you have also to clarify all those in your claim affidavit. The pleading either brought by petitioner or respondent has same value and both the parties are free to lead their evidence accordingly.

Respected Kiran Kumarji, Can I go beyond assertion or denial of facts mentioned in written reply of other party and bring on record what is the exact truth of those facts. Will it be termed as evidence beyond pleadings. Is there any other remedy to bring such explanation on record. Your valuable advise is high appreciated. Regards.
