This query is : Resolved
Hello Experts,
I have a case pending in District Court for which i have signed the vakalatnama and i got interim order. i want to take stay on the same in High court but as party in person, as my lawyer is asking fees much greater than what he is taking in District court (I am not saying that my lawyer is doing wrong. fees is out of my limits)
My question is:
Can the vakalatnama signed by me in district court cause problem for party as person in High court?

Try to negotiate with another lawyer at High Court about his professional charges.

District court run under the administration of High court so there is great differences between these two courts.
You may appoint separate Advocate in different court.
If you want the appointed lawyer not proceed further your matter than you can discharge him as per under section 34(1) of the Advocates Act, 1961 (Act 25 of 1961)
A party who wishes to discharge the Advocate engaged by him may apply to the Court for an order of discharge by following a similar procedure and the Court, if it is satisfied, may pass orders discharging the Advocate and while doing so impose such terms and conditions as it may deem proper.
It is another matter that your pocket not permit to appoint a high rate advocate so you negotiate another and may appoint.
