Depends who wants to file the documents and at what stage the documents are requested to be filed. one has to keep in find that the endeavour of justice is the primordial concern of the court. therefore, any stage can be the right stage wherein the documents can be tendered. however, one needs to give the probable and sufficient cause as to why it was not filed at the first instance.

Hello Sir,

138 NI Act proceedings though criminal are civil in nature. For clarity if in case you need to file additional documents you may need to file appropriate application before court and seek the court's permission and approval and provide reasonable grounds why such documents which were in your custody were not filed earlier. If in case you want to discuss your legal issue and take the matter forward, please call to discuss.
We provide a one stop solution to all your legal needs and issues and would be glad to assist you in any manner we can. Hoping to hear from you soon.

Yes, You can file additional documents at any stage of the proceedings with the leave of the court, but you have to show cause to the satisfaction of the court for the delay in filing the documents at an earlier stage.
