Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in India

Re: legal advice

I would advise you not to argue yourself.

Let your lawyer argue as you are quite new in legal field.

Re: legal advice

1. A litigant can either argue in person or through advocate or through authorised representative, with the permission of the court.

2. Since you are an advocate, you can appear as advocate. For this, you will need to file a vakalatnama signed by the litigant. There is no question of your appearing in person.

Re: legal advice

It is advisable that if you have recently become Advocate and has less experience in the legal field then don't argue yourself. Let your lawyer argue.

Re: legal advice

if you have to argue as an advocate you need the vakalathnama from teh litigant along with no objection from the previous counsel

Re: legal advice

There is no bar to appear either in person or as an advocate but it is advisable to avoid at such an earlier stage which may harm your interest before competent opposite lawyer.

Re: legal advice

You are an Advocate; legally you are entitled to conduct your case "in person" even without being an Advocate. However, it may still be "appropriate" to continue with the case through your counsel.
