This query is : Resolved
I am one of the respondent in a specific performance case. First despondent do not want to give his statement in this case. His lawyer is also unwilling to produce him for cross examination. This case is not important to them. But I want that first repo. should appear and record his statement. Can I call first rep. as witness, or can I apply and request the court summon him. How can I comple first rep. to arrear in court.
Thank you

during your turn of evidence you can summon the co defendant to give evidence.
Since he is unwilling to give evidnece, be sure about the outcome of his evidnece.

You can call the other respondent as witness but what would be his status? If he is your witness, you can not cross examin him. you can not force him to say as you wish.
The other way with you was to send interrogatories under Order 11 CPC. the admission or denial on document is an other way to reveal some truth.
