Can the evidence be submitted at or after trial stage?
21-Jun-2025 (In Divorce Law)
Currently I have a DVC going on. My lawer has filed for vakalat, but i see the stage is already on trial , we have only submitted reply once not attached any evidence. Can we be able to attach any evidence during or after the trial?
Generally, evidence should be submitted during the pre-trial stage, such as during the filing of the reply or during evidence recording. However, if no evidence was attached earlier, you may request the court to allow additional evidence under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which grants inherent powers to ensure justice. This can be done during the trial if you can show good cause, such as the evidence being newly discovered or previously unavailable despite due diligence. After the trial concludes, submitting new evidence is typically not permitted unless an appeal is filed, and even then, it depends on the appellate court's rules.

Yes, you can still submit evidence during the trial stage. In a Domestic Violence Case (DVC), the court allows both parties to present oral and documentary evidence. Since your reply is already submitted, your lawyer can now request the court’s permission to file supporting documents and examine witnesses during your evidence stage. It’s important to act promptly before the defence evidence phase closes. Coordinate with your lawyer to formally mark and exhibit your evidence during the trial proceedings.
