Plaintiff Not Coming For Trial
28-Mar-2025 (In Civil Law)
Being defendant in a civil case can I request court to issue subpoena against plaintiff to come and adduce their evidence? I was roped in false civil case and I am not looking for default judgment. Please suggest how to compel plaintiff to come to court. I just want to avoid plaintiff going to high court as an appeal with a false narrative that district court for not considering her evidence and drag the matter for years in high court.
Yes, as a defendant, you can request the court to issue a subpoena (summons) to compel the plaintiff to appear and present evidence. Under civil procedure, you may file an application before the court under Order XVI Rule 1 of the CPC (Code of Civil Procedure, 1908) requesting the issuance of a summons to witness.

Well, without scrutinising your case related Documents, no advocate can properly suggest you the legal measures which you can opt to restrict Plaintiff from approaching High Court in an Appeal with a false narrative.
