The children of my deceased defendant in my succession case filed a suit for declaration in which they are saying that my as well as their mother's class 2 legal heir decree and judgement as well as mine and their mother's partition suit consent decree are null, void, fraud and illegal. For the past one and a half year they are not bringing evidence in their case, so I had to file a peace meal application, in order to call all the 3 children of my deceased defendant on the same day for cross examination. The children of my deceased defendant are now the petitioners in this declaration case. At first their counsel took further dates and then he gave a reply to my peace meal application. It is important to note here that the children of my deceased defendant who are now the petitioners in the current declaration case have never filed any proof in the court records that they are the legal heirs of my deceased defendant. Now they have given a reply to my peace meal application. The case is now on arguments for the peacemeal application. Is it okay if I give written arguments in reply to the Reply filed by the opposite counsel? My advocate is saying that he will do the arguments verbally. What should I do? Should I file written arguments to the reply filed by opposite counsel in lieu of the peace meal application?
