And here we could not go to lower court.

Please tell will it be possible or not: 1.Defendants want to add its list of witnesses and want to bring one more defendant in this case whose right for WS has already been closed in the beginning. Shall we need to approach High court for this or this district court can do this? 2.Now defendants want correction in defendants nos. -which is currently 3 instead of 4 and mistake did by our lawyer and plaintiff also followed the same sequence.

Hello

Yes another party can be impleaded in the present suit subject to a filing an application. Also, list of witnesses can be added in the same manner. However the queries can be more clear after going through previous orders of the court.

Please see that since the case has come up for final arguments, nothing can be done. Also please inform the conditions that were imposed while reviving the right and whether your written statement is there on record or not. If your written statement is also not on record and the right to file the same has been closed and no corrective action has been take thereafter, then the case is hopelessly bad.

In case the district court does not allow your prayer on filing of appropriate applications for adding list of witnesses and for WRitten statement, then you can approach High Court in order to get the same allowed. With regard to no of defendants you will have to file amendment of plaint with reasonable grounds and argue the same.

Hello, Please find below the answers to the questions that have been asked by you:-
1. Yes, you may file your list of witnesses but only after filing an appropriate application before the court for seeking the right to cross examine the witnesses whom you want to cross examine and that application would also be accompanied by the reasons on the basis of which you want to cross examine those witnesses .
With respect to the defendant whose right to file WS is closed, If you want him to bring any document before the court then you may file an appropriate application regarding the same, if you wamnt him to examine then you may also examine him as a witness (Please specify). You need not to approach High Court for the same, all these things may be done before the Trial Court only.

2.Your second question is not very much clear in nature.
