A rejoinder in a civil suit is a legal document filed by the plaintiff in response to the defendant's written statement. It allows the plaintiff to address, clarify, or refute any new facts, defenses, or allegations raised by the defendant. Under the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), a rejoinder isn't always mandatory, but it is typically submitted when the plaintiff feels the need to contest or respond to specific points made in the written statement. It serves as the plaintiff's final say before the court proceeds to the framing of issues and trial.

Time for filing rejoinder is usually decided by the court when notice is issued. Please check previous orders for the same. Format can be the same as the pleading. However, it is always better to file a rejoinder only when something that is not said in the pleading needs to be said/something raised in the WS needs to be answered. The prayer is already included in the main pleading.

Dear Sir/Ma'am, In a civil suit, after Written statement is filed by the defendant to your plaint is to file a replication which is the reply to WS. In Replication you deny the submission of the defendant by stating firstly Preliminary objections , secondly preliminary submissions and lastly a para wise reply followed by a prayer. Responding to your 2nd query, Any electronic evidence has to be accompanied by an 65B affidavit by which it is declared and sworn that the electronic evidence is through a working electronic device and has not been tampered with. responding to your last query, A prayer should be small, to the point and should stick exactly as to what relief you require from the court. in case of any other query and assistance please feel free to connect to me. thanks and regards
