The list of witnesses, after settlement of issues, must be filed within

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Order XVI rule 1 requires the list within the period appointed by the court and no later than fifteen days after settlement of issues. This is the ordinary deadline, not an absolute prohibition on every later witness: rule 1(3) permits an omitted witness on sufficient cause with reasons recorded, and rule 1A addresses production without summons.
