The court had directed the appointment of a commissioner and surveyor to identify the property mentioned in the case. After they filed their report, the defendant didn’t want to present any counter-evidence. The plaintiff, while not presenting new evidence, was allowed to cross-examine the previous witness’s affidavit and the defendant’s documents. Can the plaintiff still cross-examine the witness and present evidence?

Under Indian law, the plaintiff can cross-examine the witness and present evidence even if they have already presented their case. However, the scope of cross-examination and admissibility of new evidence are subject to the discretion of the court and the applicable rules of evidence.
