All the high courts are having High Court Legal Aid center, apart from the district level legal aid centers.
He can approach that High Court Legal Aid center, apply with relevant documents. He will be provided with legal aid through an advocate.

An appeal against the judgment passed by district consumer forum will lie with the State commission only and not with the High court, I think you have been wrongly advised/told that the appeal was preferred before Punjab and Haryana High court. Please check it up and approach the appropriate forum accordingly. In the state commission, your friend can appear as party in person to defend his case by taking advise from local advocates properly.
