Quick Summary

This discussion addresses the process of filing a rejoinder to a reply statement at the CAT, Chennai Bench, specifically for a pay fixation case. The applicant, representing themselves due to financial constraints, sought advice on including additional annexures with the rejoinder and how to number them. While engaging a lawyer was suggested, the applicant's limited resources led to advice on seeking assistance from CAT staff for procedural guidance. It was clarified that annexures should continue numbering from the original application, and the rejoinder should focus on rebutting the reply statement's claims.

These are all practical issues, you can take the assistance of a lawyer to be sure of proper filing procedures to be adopted.
You can engage the services of an advocate outside for this purpose alone so that your case is not stuck due to procedural lapse or faulty filings.

Respected Experts, first of all I don't have enough financial resources for engaging a Lawyer. Secondly, the lawyers I had contacted does not want to be engaged on piece meal basis. Kindly guide me and oblige.

If you can file a case as a party in person then it certainly would have been with the assistance of a lawyer to know about the filing procedures.
Even for this you can take the help of a lawyer, if you cannot afford for the lawyer fee then you can take the help of any staff available in the CAT to guide you on this.
As it is a practical issue, any piece of advise rendered from remote about the filing procedures may be a misguidance.
You will land up in more trouble.

Rejoinder can have additional documents as annexures; they are to be numbered continuum from the OA. for instance, if last document in the OA had been numbered A-11. the documents in the Rejoinder are to be numbered A-12 onwards.

However, it is desirable that the rejoinder is precise to the point to be rebutted.
