I have submitted my vakalatnama on 15/02/2010 , I have to submit my reply on 20/03/2010. What if my lawyer does not appear or fails to submit the reply, or else can i request for the date extension.

Thanks

In case your lawyer does not appear, you may appear in person and request for an adjournment. The court may grant adjournment for filing reply.
