Advocate on record

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 12 November 2011 This query is : Resolved 
We are fighting a civil suit in Bombay High Court through a law firm, the law firm has has filed wakaltnama on the name of law firm only. There is no advocate by name on record, Can the opposite party take objection to this and what are the consequences?
Devajyoti Barman (Expert) 12 November 2011
The name of any advocate representing a particular law form should be there,

Anyway it is a mere irregularity to say the least and can be cured at any stage of the litigation.
Nadeem Qureshi (Expert) 12 November 2011
the seal or signature with the name of advocate should be on vakalatnama
ajay sethi (Expert) 12 November 2011
when vakalatnama is filed by law firm it must be bearing signature of partner of the firm .

the law firms in Mumbai are not so negligent that it does not bear any signature of any partner etc of the firm

There must be a sign on that vakalatnama.and that is enough for its trueness and legality..

as suggested by all experts, you can act upon.
Chanchal Nag Chowdhury (Expert) 13 November 2011
Please check the Rules of the Bombay High Court. If this is allowed, as I suppose it is, there is nothing to worry.
