• Submission of call records

I have Petition C and Petition A cases in Family court. So, petitions for Restitution of Conjugal Rights as well as petition for Maintenance have been filed by wife. Both of these cases have been combined by court and are going on with single hearing.

The current stage is wife's evidence is closed. Also, my cross exam has been completed. 
I was about to close my evidence. But in cross exam opposite advocate asked me whether I can submit call records where I have asked wife to come back to co-habit. I responded 'Yes' to the question as I have a recording. I have also mentioned that I am ready and willing to co-habit. 

I would like to have final order soon as it's more than 4 years now.

My question is - 
1) Shall I submit the call record now? If I don't submit, will court object to it? 
2) Can opposite advocate prolong the hearing by doubting the call records? Is there any reference for proper submission of call records so that no objections are raised.

hello

if you have stated that you have the evidence you should have submitted it long ago. the court can take note of the evidence but the opposite party would object to it as it is being submitted so late. nevertheless, file the evidence.

the call records are submitted on the affidavit. if the opposite party has objections, it may raise them, but they should be valid objections and reasons must be given n for the same.

Firstly, as per the information mentioned In the present query, makes it clear that you have responded positive or whatever question as you have the proofs.

Secondly, yes, there are chances that the opposite lawyer may prolong it for the purpose delaying the order.

Thirdly, yes, by way of an affidavit you can file the recordings before the same court.

Dear Client,

Call records will submit on requisition of court or on request to opposite party to prove your statement, since no record summoned by them, it`s deemed acceptance of your statement, no need to submit in court.

If it filed in court than opposite party definitely ask for forensic test to examine its credibility and to prolong the matter.

Dear Querist

My opinion on your queries are as under:-

1) Shall I submit the call record now? If I don't submit, will court object to it?

Opinion:- no need to file now as the matter is already fixed for the Final Order/Judgment because if you will file the same then the opposite counsel against claim cross examination based on those documents/recording, even you have to file a certificate under section 65B of Indian Evidence Act-1872 for admissibility of those recordings as those documents/recordings are Electronic Documents and without the certificate those recordings can not be admissible as an evidence.

2) Can opposite advocate prolong the hearing by doubting the call records? Is there any reference for proper submission of call records so that no objections are raised.

Opinion:- As above

If you have agreed and not submitted it will create adverse inference against you. If the  all records is against your case then dont submit. 

No he can't prolong hearing on this issue for a long. 

For transfer you need to take permission from principal judge of family court. You can file your reply that she has taken and if evidence to prove it
