Witness list : is mentioning the points to be proved a must?

Guest (Querist) 23 November 2013 This query is : Resolved
Petitioner filed witness list but judge asked to file it again clearly mentioning the points supposed to be proved by each witness.

Three out of five witnesses are to be called by summons & the remaining two by hand.

So, should the petitioner mention the points supposed to be proved by the witnesses summoned by hand also?

Can judge refuse the witnesses from appearing if the reason mentioned is not sufficient? I mean if the judge thinks that a witness in the list is not relevant in the case, can judge refuse his appearance?

agree with experts.

As rightly opined, it depends upon the nature of the case and circumstances under which the witnesses are to be lead to depose their evidence. If the pleaded grounds over the evidence to be deposed by the proposed witnesses listed in the list are considered to be irrelevant the judge may at is discretion reject the same due to its irrelevancy or any other reason he may assign.
