This query is : Resolved
In a Specific Relief Suit consisting of Plaintiff and Head of the Government Department, Government Office as Respondent.
The Head of the Department of the said Government Department filed a WS and was signed by him personally.
Later on Plaintiff filed a Petition for call for records / documents from the said Respondent (Government Department).
The Sub ordinate / Assistant Head of that Government Department filed a Counter Affidavit.
My query is that is such a Counter Affidavit filed by the Assitant HOD, Government Department prima facie valid ?
Thanks in advance.

It is valid only if the same is filed by him in his officially capacity by affixing the seal of the office.
