If you are in Family Court where also 125 CrPC applications can be filed, then the Family Court Act is liberal with respect to procedures. See the highlighted section below. Family Court can set its own procedure, overriding CrPC or CPC, to arrive at the truth.
10. Procedure generally.-(1) Subject to the other provisions of this Act and rules, the provisions of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908(5 of 1908), and of any other law for the time being in force shall apply to the suits and proceedings other than the proceedings under Chapter IX of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973(2 of 1974), before a Family Court and for the purpose of the said provisions of the Code, a Family Court shall be deemed to be a Civil Court and shall have all the powers of such Court.
(2) Subject to the other provisions of this Act and the rules, the provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (2 of 1974), or the rules made thereunder, shall apply to the proceedings under Chapter IX of the Code before a Family Court.
(3) Nothing in sub-section (1) or sub-section (2) shall prevent a Family Court from laying down its own procedure with a view to arrive at a settlement in respect of the subject-matter of the suit or proceedings or at the truth of the facts alleged by the one party and denied by the other.

You could have given whatever you wanted just before the cross examinatoin of pw1. At that time, judge would have accomodated anything you want to point out or say in your extra/new documents.
Now it will look like after thought. This is not permissable.
It is simple. You can tell story, once, you cant keep adding pages to your novel, every now and then.
But again as pointed out by samir, the family court judge has power to take any document at any time before the cross examination.
As it is procedure, even family court cannot take any document once cross examinatoin is completed. Even if cross is over and if your advocate has taken further cross date. Then on that date new documents can be marked. But once cross is over, no documents can be added.
But again if your lawyer is smart, he can convince the judge to take the documents which you did not submit till now.
But anyways all rests upon discretion of judge of family court, if he nods, he can accept anything he wants.
If he dont want, even supreme court cant do anything.

He (judge) wont take. Even if he takes, he will order something or tother for you to pay. No use pursuing the matter.
I feel it is goof up by your advocate or over smartness by you. Either ways it is over.
Now something the court will order.
If you dont want to pay or play around there are other methods.
Instead of clenching teeth now, you wait and see what court will order or do. Then based on that you plan your next move. This time dont goof up, both to you and your advocate.
If you want to change your advocate, this is the time.
