When evidence may be taken in English
Hearing of the suit and examination of witnesses, in the First Schedule to The Code of Civil Procedure, 1908
1[29. When evidence may be taken in English.--(1) Where English is not the language of the Court, but all the parties to the suit who appear in person, and the pleaders of such of the parties as appear by pleaders, do not object to having such evidence as is given in English, being taken down in English, the judge may so take it down or cause it to be taken down.
(2) Where evidence is not given in English but all the parties who appear in person, and the pleaders of such of the parties as appear by pleaders, do not object to having such evidence being taken down in English, the Judge may take down, or cause to be taken down, such evidence in English.]
1. Subs. by s. 69, ibid., for rule 9 (w.e.f. 1-2-1977).
2. The provisions of rules 6, 7, 8, 9, so far as they relate to the manner of taking evidence, are not applicable to the Chief Court of Oudh, see, s. 16 (2), ibid.
How this Rule is cited
It is written both ways, and both mean this Rule: Order XVIII Rule 9 CPC and Order 18 Rule 9 CPC. Pleadings usually take the arabic form, judgments usually the numeral.
Orders of the courts under it: Order 18 Rule 9 CPC, Order XVIII Rule 9 CPC. Each opens the full-text search over every order eCourtsIndia holds.
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.
