Abstract

The fundamental question in civil litigation since ancient times is whether the judge can also act to discover the truth or whether his role is limited to the season of hostility given the reasons given by the parties.
Interrogation or civil interrogation means questioning the plaintiffs by summoning them personally. Similarly, interrogation in criminal matters can lead to the acquisition of evidence, statistics or confession from the statements of the parties.
At present, the only legal article from which civil interrogation or interrogation can be deduced in Iranian law is Article 199 of the Code of Civil Procedure, which allows the judge to take any action and investigation in order to discover the truth.
Because the interrogation is not explicitly provided for in the codified laws of Iran and has not been explained by the doctrine, it is appropriate that the legislature, like the countries of France and Lebanon, which have precise and clear rules regarding the interrogation, legislate in It is important to take action.
