It is not mandatory to engage an advocate in a criminal case. A person not having a law degree can defend himself in a criminal case trial in a lower court with the permission of the court.

If you know law mean, Before court of law appointment of advocate is not mandatory in any stage of your case.. You can proceed your case as IN PERSON. Not only before magistrate court.. Even before supreme court of india you can appear as in person.

Theoritically you don't need the services of an advocate at all. Practically, if you are not well versed with the procedures of the court, you must engage an experienced lawyer even for prosecution of a private complaint. If you engages an advocate for your case, it is mandatory that you file Vakalatnama in his favour to authorise him to appear and plead your case.
