it is not necessary that you appoint an advocate to appear on your behalf in court . you can file suit on your own and appear in person if you so desire . however it is better you engage a lawyer to fight on your behalf

Any person can appear party-in-person before any forum, judicial, quasi-judicial or administrative. It is a basic right which no law can curtail. In other words, no law or permission is required to appear party-in-person. You qualification or stature is also immaterial.
There are advantages as well as disadvantages in appearing party-in-person. You are not dependent on the vagaries of a another person; however, when you engage a lawyer, he is a professional and he can present the case with objectivity and detachment.
A vakalatnama is a power of attorney in another name and naturally, a party-in-person need not furnish any vakalatnama to the Court.

If water is deep, u need a Expert swimmer with you. If a feet or two, you can try on your own, without loosing your life.. !!
SO DON'T DO IN PERSON..
LEGAL STUDY IS AN OCEAN.
SHALLOW KNOWLEDGE IS HARMFUL

What are the facts of the case? Of course in your own case, you can take up the case on your own by filing vakalat as "Party-in-person".

With due respect to the learned expert Mr.Jaggarao, I may be permitted to point out that a party-in-person need not file any vakalat.

As a party in person you can represent your own case, there are plenty of people who appear as party in person in many courts these days.
