NI case pending for 10 years now other party not appearing in court


14-Oct-2023 (In Cheque Bounce Law)
I had a case under Non-Negotiable Act 138 for a cheque bounce. The case was pending for last 10 years and party which filed it against me was not appearing in the court. Now the person herself did not appear saying that she is ill and aged so she prepared an affidavit requesting the court that her son will appear in her place. The said affidavit bears notary date which was Sunday. My question is can anybody authorize to represent such a case? Can a notary sign a document on Sunday? Can the court accept this?

Answer - Yes, one person prosecuting a case can authorise any other person to appear before the court for the same.
Secondly a notary can attest an affidavit on Sunday or any other holiday.
Thirdly this document is not an authority so can’t be filed in court.
