Dear Members,
"Legal Practitioners may be permitted to appear as amicus curiae only and not as a PAID vakil with vakalatnama"
I am party in person in family court for my divorce suit and maintenance suit
I reqeusted the same in family court, the opposit lawyer contested that there is no such order and asked me to bring the copy if, so.
Let me know where can i get the copy or please refer any citation or section under family court or such orders......please

You are mistaken. A legal practitioner can appear as a paid vakil in all cases except where his presence is specifically barred. If you have any citation contradicting my opinion then please let me know so that I may also enhance my knowledge.

AAG-ASGI- etc. can act as amicus curiae only with their vakalatanamas and they cannot take money for the services rendered.
See case of Ajit D. Paliwal
