Hi,

If I am not satisfied by my lawyer of high court ,what is the process to change him? Do I need NOC from him and if yes what if he doesn't give ?

How to get case papers from him ?

You can ask for NOC from your advocate,  if in case he refuses then you can issue a notice informing him that you have terminated the vakalatnama and demand to handover the case related papers. If he is reluctant then you can appear as party in person before high court and inform court that you have terminated the vakalatnama to the current advocate and request the court to allow you time to engage a new advocate. 

You may have to file a memo along with the copy of the termination notice.

If you're dissatisfied with your current lawyer in the High Court, you can change your advocate by appointing a new one and providing them with a Vakalatnama (authority to represent you). While an NOC from your previous lawyer is not mandatory, it can be helpful. If your previous lawyer refuses to provide the NOC or hand over the case papers, you can approach the Bar Council or the court to resolve the issue.

If you'd like to connect with expert lawyers to discuss further, please share your contact details, and we can assist you.
