According to him, right from the onset of the case, the respondents had made clear the petitioners had no case, a clue they should have deduced from that they will not to call a witness.
“Unless petitioners were not strategic enough, unless the petitioners were not strategic at all, they should anticipated EC will not testify because from the beginning we have said they have no case so the court should throw out their case”.

“We have said that already in our answers to the court and provided grounds for the preliminary legal objection. So if you are strategic enough, like you will know that these people if they get, they will not call any witness,”.
