hello.. I am a lawyer practicing since several years. I am a witness and complainant in one of the case. Can I file and appear and present my case in court room. I know i can't present my case before court because i am witness, but i want to present my case myself.
Plz. if anyone have any judgment on this point

Does anything stop a complainant from being witness?

You can appear as party in person for your own case even if you are advocate and witness.

No need to search for citation, you may appear/depose as party in-person.

Yes, you can proceed with the matter party-in-person. But in such a case, you are no longer a professional; you cannot wear the professional gown or the band.
