Jeet Mohinder Singh vs Harminder Singh And Anr

The Supreme Court held that an application styled under Order XVI Rule 3 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, was improperly framed as it pertains to the tender of expenses to witnesses, not the recall of witnesses. The Court emphasized that while the substance of an application is important, parties must accurately cite the relevant provisions of law. The Court clarified that Order XVIII Rule 17 allows for the recall of witnesses at any stage, but the application in question did not meet the necessary legal criteria, leading to the dismissal of the appeal.
