Power to get statements recorded on commission
Full Text
Notwithstanding anything contained in these rules, the court may, instead of examining witnesses in open court, direct their statements to be recorded on commission under rule 4A of Order XXVI.
Plain English Summary
Overrides preceding rules to empower the Court to direct witness examinations to be conducted on commission under Order XXVI Rule 4A rather than in open court.
Key Legal Elements
- Non-Obstante Override: Broad authority to bypass open court witness recording.
- Order XXVI Rule 4A Linkage: Directs commission examination in any suit for interest of justice or speedy disposal.
- Court Time Management: Conserves judicial hours for hearing complex legal arguments.
Practical Note
Delegating Bulk Witness Evidence to Commissioners: Under Rule 19 read with Order XXVI Rule 4A, courts in high-pendency districts routinely relegate witness cross-examinations in commercial and civil suits to advocate-commissioners to expedite disposal.
