The Quetta High Court upheld the order of the Additional District Judge-III, Quetta, allowing the respondent/plaintiff to produce additional documents after remand from the Supreme Court. The court emphasized that procedural laws should be liberally construed to advance the cause of justice. The petitioner/defendant's objections regarding the late introduction of documents were dismissed, as the court found that the necessary conditions for allowing such documents were met, and the authenticity of the documents was not in doubt. |
