Civil/criminal

Greeting for the day

We have a civil case running in court and that is final stage for judgement.

Our advocate is yet to submit written arguments for final time.

There is also criminal case against the property issue and I am accused as per petioner.

My question is there was cross examination already done for sub registrar officer and they response was positive for our side.

Can we take that certified copy and produce in civil case.

Please advise

I really appreciate your valuable feedback

Thanks alot

Certified copy of the statement already recorded in another case between same parties can be used in evidence of other case.

What is the civil and criminal case involving same property ?

If the statement recorded on criminal case has any relevance with the issues of civil case then such statement can be submitted in civil case.

The civil case has reached final arguments stage hence the evidence of sub registrar in the criminal case may not be entertained by court for final arguments especially when there was no pleadings made in this connection earlier.

It is not necessary that argument notes be filed, it is optonal.

As to the production of evidence, there cannot be any definite suggestion. It may not serve any useful purpose given that one is civil and, another criminal. Anyhow, your advocate is the best person to guide you.
