Hello Experts,
We are fighting DV case filed by my brother's wife( in-person). She has also filed application under section 125 of CrPC. Both cases are in the evidence phase(applicant's). My brother is a patient of depression and our lawyer is not attending court dates regularly and seriously. In the 125 case, can I represent my brother as far as cross examination of applicant's witnesses and argument is considered?
I have read about power of attorney. Is it applicable in this case?

You cannot represent your brother in court as you have a lawyer with his power of attorney, namely Vakalatnamma.
You can change the lawyer if your present lawyer avoiding or ignoring your brother's case.
