Civil suit for permanent injunction
Nishant

This query is : Resolved
Hello,
I am the defendant in a civil suit for permanent injunction in a lower court of Delhi. As my financial condition is not very sound, so I was hiring the lawyer on date-to-date basis. Till now for 3 dates I have had the same lawyer. Now the next date is due tomorrow where I was supposed to file a reply but I am not in a condition to pay any fee to my lawyer and the condition will be somewhat similar in near future. So, what options I am left with since the lawyer has denied to appear for I couldn't make his earlier payments in a timely fashion? Can I appear in person in court tomorrow and tell the judge about the situation and that I be given a public lawyer? Is that possible, if yes then how?
Please suggest!
Thanks!

You can do so. In the meanwhile, approach legal aid cell which will be in the premises of the court and narrate the things. They may help you by engaging a counsel at the cost of government.

You can ask for the court to refer your case for legal aid in dlsa for free legal aid. They will appoint a lawyer to defend you in this case at govt's expense.
