unable to appoint new advocate

(Querist) 13 January 2016 This query is : Resolved 
Dear Sir,
I have a case going on at Thane court (Maharashtra). It is a criminal matter U/s.420, 34.
Chargesheet was filed in 2012.
Since then only dates were given every time and I myself (2nd accused) and other lady 1st accused) both pleaded "Not Guilty" in the case.
I appointed my defence advocate in 2014. He was able to attend court only on Fridays, which was not convenient for the complainant, so the complainant always created chaos in court due to which the judge used to give dates on other days. Finally fed up of this, my advocate left my case in September 2015.
Since then I have been unable appoint another advocate because some I found inefficient and some are asking exorbitant fees which I can't afford.
My next date is 18th January 2016, and the judge has warned me to get my advocate along.
Stage of my case:
Complainant's Examination-in-Chief conducted on last date.

I want to know the following:
1) Can I ask the judge to provide an advocate for me (legal aid) ?
If yes, will the judge agree ?

2) What will be the next stage in this matter ?

Kindly guide me.
Thanking you,
Mrs. Merchant.

1.no, u cannot ask judge to provide advocate of free legal aid cell and instead u will have to contact free legal cell of ur zone/ state to get its advocate.

2.court will pass appropriate orders on next date.

You may request the Court if you have convincing reasons.

Better engage an advocate suitable to you for the case. The complainant has to be cross examined which is crucial for the case.
