Petitioner in person - information required.

 

Dear All

I want to know if a Petitioner in Person who is not a Lawyer has to wear Advocate's Robes while presenting his/her case?

What are the other points that differentiates the Petitioner in Person from a Lawyer?

Also if anyone is successfull here as a Petitioner in Person, please share the experience like how to start the case, how to address, do's and dont's etc here or on the email adsemail.2012@gmail.com 

Thanks in advance for the support.

@Queriest,

 

Only advocates are allowed to wear robe while presenting the case in court of law.  Now let's see the difference between petitioner(who is fighting his own case) and a lawyer-

 

1. Lawyers generally have good knowledge of law as comapared to common man while petitioner may not have good knowledge of law(as in your case see you are asking how to start, a lawyers knows already as to how to start a case).

 

2. Lawyers know the preocedure to lead the case and what to do in certain cumstances while common man including petitioner may lacking in this attribute(See you are asking how to proceed).

 

3.Lawyers know what to do and what not to do and most importantly when while common man including petitioner may be ignorant in this aspect(See you are asking what to do and what not).

 

4. A lawyer can do advocacy for another person while the petitioner is restricted to lead his own case only.

 

Hope that suffice.

 

Hope to hear again(if need so arises)

 

Thanks,

Regards

Lawyers represent cases given by his client. If the opposite party had approached him earlier than the client he would have pleaded for him as well. 

If one kows the procedures to file petition , file counter petitions ,it is better he presents the case himself. I tried in lower courts and  won couple of cases. In High Court I filed a case party in person got the case admitted but proceedures for follow up  required at least one case to have been handled earlier. For that I paid a councilor to file wakalat. In  final aurgument judge heared me and the advocate was a mute spectator. Order was passed in my favour.

I have not tried Supreme court yet

Dear All. I am pleading about 4 Cases as Party In Person. Many people propogate themself with many wrong legal points to plead as Party In Person.  My Advise in this is , First of all, Appearing as Party In person is a very challegeable situation. A vast reading, analysing is very important to plead the case successfully. Apart from that, need to create good relationship with people. The legal aspect for Appearing Party in Person are  1.THE ADVOCATES ACT, 1961     section  32. Power of Court to permit appearances in particular cases.—Notwithstanding anything contained in this Chapter, any court, authority, or person may permit any person, not enrolled as an advocate under this Act, to appear before it or him in any particular case.      குறிப்பிட்ட வழக்குகளில் ஆஜராக அனுமதிக்கும் நீதிமன்றத்தின் அதிகாரம்.-இந்த அத்தியாயத்தில் உள்ள எதுவும் இருந்தபோதிலும், எந்தவொரு நீதிமன்றமும், அதிகாரமும் அல்லது நபர் இந்தச் சட்டத்தின் கீழ் வழக்கறிஞராகப் பதிவுசெய்யப்படாத எந்தவொரு நபரையும் எந்தவொரு குறிப்பிட்ட வழக்கிலும் ஆஜராக அனுமதிக்கலாம்.
