Can relative of petitioner's relative(non-llb) appear f case

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 19 January 2016 This query is : Resolved
Hi all, One of my relative (age-70) high court civil case pending in high court for almost 10 years. We lately come to know that our lawyer lost interest in case (though we paid all his fee and asked if he want more he said 'No'). Last 2 years we put case on board (daily causelist) but after couple of dates somehow we never get third date. So our lawyer give excuse of registrar office work. My question is if case do appear on board can petitioner's relative mention the date in front of judge to obtain next date? Also can he stand on instead of lawyer to fight the case? Thank you.

Either your relative who is a party in the case can appear personally himself or only through a lawyer.

You being not a lawyer/advocate, cannot appear in place of a lawyer on behalf of your relative.

Better engage another lawyer, after obtaining No Objection Certificate from your earlier lawyer.
