Filing of additional affidavits.
v ramachandran
(Querist) 29 April 2012
This query is : Resolved
I have filed an affidavit in the labour court for enforcement of my gratuity claim in a college I have served for 13 years. The repondent had filed a counter to my affidavit and since many false statements were made by the respondent in his counter I have filed amy reply to his counter affidavit.
I think the respondent may try to wriggle out of his false statements by wanting to file an additional affidavit.
My query for the legal experts is as follows:
Since the respondent has already filed a counter, can I as a petitioner contest his request to file an additional affidavit in the labour court and demand that at best he may file another new petition to which I have a legal right to file a counter.
I have since filed the proof affidavit also to support my claim. Please advise,

If he files additional affidavit which is possible only if the Tribunal gives him the liberty then you would also invariably be allowed to file counter.
So do not fret much over this.

Generally a person can be allowed to inset amendment if it do not affect the rights of the other litigant.
