Order XVIII: Hearing of the suit and examination of witnesses

20 Rules of the First Schedule to the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908.

This Order may be one Rule short. India Code publishes the Rules of the First Schedule without recording which Order each one belongs to. We recover that from the Government's own consolidated text of the Code, and for this Order one Rule did not settle beyond doubt. Rather than print it under an Order it might not belong to, it is left out and this note put in its place. Everything shown here is where the Code puts it.
