hello
my wife filed crpc 125 on me , case proceeded ex-parte , she has given her statement in ex-parte and after that i appeared and recalled the ex-parte proceedings
now trial started , i filed reply , i want that when ex-parte proceedings recalled her statement should be taken again in my presence before cross- examination
other party says that statement given in ex-parte is sufficient and no need of again recording statement before me and now i go for cross examination
whether i am right that her statement should be recorded in my presence and since ex-parte proceedings recalled due to non summoning of summon so the statement given by my wife has been scrapped
if possible support ur suggestion by judgment
