    there is no fix time table ,we are in India ,after you submit your arguments it wil take about a month or so. If you are senior citizen then file an application and seek directions from a high court in this regard

    It is not stated whether the party whose evidence is completed is the plaintiff or defendant.

    The stage after plaintiff's evidence, is evidence of Defendants' witnesses, (chief and cross), arguments by both sides and then final orders.

    If it is apprehended that the other side is unduly dragging the case, ask the advocate to file a memo before the court for expeditious disposal, duly providing details of senior citizen status.

    There is no time limit. But effective and alert submissions to prevent dilatory tactics by the other side, would expedite the process.

    I have myself seen civil cases take about 2-3 years to reach judgment day even after the completion of the evidence stage in civil matters.
