No, no documents cannot be produced at the stage of evidence. The party needs to first move an appropriate application and can put new documents on record if the concerned court allows the said application.

No, new documents cannot typically be included in the chief affidavit without prior permission from the court. You can object to the admissibility of these new documents during the trial and request the court to exclude them unless proper leave has been obtained. Adv. Mahinder Singh Mavi
