Dear experts,
Can Interrogatories under Order 11 of CPC be filed before the filing the written statement.
Have a H.A.M.A suit section 18, section 20 filed along with D.V suit reliefs cusody, protection, monetary orders, and sec 23 D.V interim relief prayer on me.
current stage: DV interim say is filed by me ( defendant ).
Stage of submitting evidence ( and notice for production of documents ) .
So DV interim arguments yet to begin.
H.A.M.A and DV main have same contents, hence the one WS is planned to be filed by me/ pleader.
Is it advisable at this stage to ' file interrogaries to the plaintiff before submitting W S ' ? Since asking court at a later date would run the risk of being unfavorably looked by court as delaying tactics.
or should it be filed later on before the main case before close of the evidence stage .
heplful link below from the forum, but does not clarify the query I raised above
