Evidence is not required to be given in courts if there is no dispute on facts

Every body seems to be concerned about pendancy of cases in courts and judicial system.

I chose to use the word seems above, because to my mind no body seems to me to be doing any thing.

I started my law practice in 2003. The second case was in consumer court. There was no dispute on facts of the case with the party (insurance company).

So in such a case - there should be no need to file a detailed WS para wise. Simply noting on the order sheet that there is no dispute on facts of the case should suffice.

I argued that there is no need for a rejoinder, affidavit in evidence etc and the case can be resolved on the first hearing itself.

There was too much of confusion in the court relating to the statements that I just made in the court. I was asked to sign the order sheet that I do not want file the affidavit in evidence.

In more than 70% of cases in consumer courts the decision can be given on the first date. But instead WS, Rejoinder, Affidavit, affidavit, written arguments routine is followed.

Recently I took this line of argument in a consumer court. I was mentioned in the order sheet and in the final judgement as adamant and misbehving.

I wonder at what platform can such cases be taken. I do not want unpleasant statements about me to be made in front of 10s of other people.

To my mind I did nothing wrong.
