Trial stage of the case

ngopidhar (Querist) 17 July 2016 This query is : Resolved
now my mothers property case is under trial stage.since she is uneducated and in her old age (65 years) unable to understand and answer what other lawyer is asking we have asked our lawyer to allow anyone of us (her children) to be as friend of the client to help her in understanding what the other lawyer is asking and give proper reply.but our lawyer says it cannot be like that and my mother should face the opponents lawyer on her own in the trial,is this not jeopardising the case by our selves.secongly me completed my llb yet to clear bci exam and my sister practsing advocate can work along with our appointed advocate to deal with our mothers case as that would give immense strength to my nervous age old mother.now dont say why we gave this case to another advocate when we ourselves are tobecome lawyer and lawyer because we stay at some other place and the case is filled at some other place and secondly i am not sure if one can represent thir own kin and kith case . kindly advice us as to what our further course of action should be. thank you.

Deposition is as to facts known to the witness. Sometimes, an uneducated person can lead more credible evidence. In the long run, it may be that her mature age and lack of formal education may turn out to be an advantage than a disadvantage.
