This query is : Resolved
It is well understood that when one hires a Advocate to pursue a court case .a vakalatnama has to be signed in the advocates favour.
Query ....does this same apply for a Lawyer just to send or answer to a Legal notice?

Although vakalatnam is not required to issue or reply the notice but nowadays it is seen that party on who's behalf a notice is issued or reply is given, denies in court that he has not instructed his counsel to issue notice or reply the notice, to avoid such situation, I think Advocate should get signed vakalatnama from client.

I fully agree with expert Mr. Bhatesh Goyal ji.
It is necessary to obtain vakalatnama before issuance of legal notice on whose behalf it is being initiated by lawyer
