I will always advise to appoint advocate. One may be aware about the procedure but persons cannot have legal expertise. Just to save some thousands of rupess parties may ruine their properties. It is upto parties to have expert persons or just a procedure aware crook.

If you are a party in that DRT case, you can present yourself as an In-Person in that DRT case.

A person not having any qualification can represent the case of another person with the leave of the court. The person who represents the case is called RECOGNISED AGENT.
