Minimum time take for judgement in small causes court

(Querist) 20 March 2014 This query is : Resolved 
Hi

Our is the case related to Tenant (pagdi) Room in South Central Mumbai.

The Landlord wants to Redevelop the building but is not ready to make the Agreement.

He has filed a case on us in Small Causes Court for our eviction. We have appointed a Advocate for our defend. But now it seems our Advocate has joined hands with the Landlord & he is telling us that we will lose the case in small causes, which initially at the time of taking the case he was very much positive.

The case was filed only 3 months ago.

My Querry is

1) What is the minimum time taken by Small Causes Court to pass the Order
2) Can we change the lawyer in the middle of the Case & what effects will have on our case
3) How can we find out what reply our lawyer has filed on our behalf in small Causes court
4) Our House Rent is pending to be paid in the Court.Our Advocate says that when the court will direct, we will have to pay the Rent. How will we know when the Rent has to be paid if the lawyer does not inform us. Can we pay the Rent in the Court directly now without informing the lawyer

Please help me

Thanking You

have confidence in your lawyer . case in small cause court may take some years to be disposed of .

you can change your lawyer . it wont affect your case .

generally when reply is filed copy i s given to you for your record . you can check court records regarding reply filed by your lawyer .

since the rent has to be deposited by you in court naturally your lawyer will inform you when to deposit the same

1) it may take 3-5 years.
2) You can change, it would not effect.
3. Take a copy of the document through your new lawyer or ask from the lawyer.
4) Lawyer would inform or you may take permission of the court to deposit.
