Slp in supreme court

(Querist) 10 January 2016 This query is : Resolved 
Dear sir,
Our opponent filed a declaration suit for land against our mother in 1989 and it was decreed in his favor and aggrieved by the said decree and judgment my mother preferred an appeal in the Sub Court and the same was also dismissed by the Sub Court.

Against the said dismissal of first appeal, my mother had preferred Second appeal before the High Court of Madras in 1995. In 2009, I got power from my mother to proceed the case on behalf of her and filed in the second appeal to implead me as the son and the power of attorney holder and the same was accepted and impleaded me as the power of Attorney of my mother in cause title by the high court of Madras. Further I filed an application to appear and argue as party in person in the said second appeal and the same also was allowed by the high court.

Then I appeared and argued as part in person in second appeal. Though I am not being an advocate, the High court of madras considered all the facts and allowed our appeal by dismissing the judgments of lower courts on june-2014.

Now our opponents have preferred SLP in Supreme court and notice (Show Cause) also was served to me to file counter on Nov - 2014. And the enquiry of the said SLP arrived at registrar court of supreme court on Jan-2015. On that day I filed application to pray to allow me to appear and argue as party in person in the said SLP also. The enquiry on the said application arrived on March-2015 in supreme court. Since the facts of present stage of the SLP, the supreme court declined my prayer and advised me " The petitioner can engage any counsel and may present in the court and may assist to the advocate. And also ordered that " Post the matter, after engaged the counsel"

Till this day I did not engaged any counsel and SLP is also not listed till now.

In this situation My 3 doubts are,

1. Again can I request the supreme court to allow me to appear and argue as party in person?

2. What is the procedure to pray again to allow me to appear and argue as party in person?

3. What is time limit to file counter in SLP and now can I file my counter in this stage?

Kindly Please let me know about the above information.

The court has already disallowed your plea, discuss with some senior lawyer.

consult SC lawyer.

In SC appearance of party in person is permissible to make hearing of his own case.
However since in your case the court has disallowed such prayer you have to engage an advocate and assist him as directed by court.
You may file Review petition against such order but the different outcome is most unlikely.

Better follow the direction of the Supreme Court.
