Respected Sir/Madam,
I am from punjab(dist. ludhiana) and I filed for partition of my ancestral property in 2008.I have one brother.My father inherited this property from my grandfather after my grandfather died.There was no will left by my grandfather.This property was alloted to my grandfather and his five brothers when they came from pakistan during partition.This property is jointly owned by my father and the predecessors of my grandfathers 5 brothers.The judge gave stay on my share in the lower court in the year 2008.I am an NRI i am new resident of canada.My father and my brother went to sessions court and since 2008 till now 2012 the dispute is going on in Sessions court.My lawyer has always been forcing me to come to india as he says i need to present myself in court otherwise the judge may give verdict in my father and brother's favour.Recently since two weeks the judge is giving very short court dates(2 to 3 days between dates).Today my lawyer called me up and said he cannot fight for me if i wont come.Kindly let me know How can i change the lawyer and if my lawyer doesnt show up in front of the judge tomorrow as the court date is tomorrow(21/04/2012).what will happen and do i need any documents from my old lawyer when i go to the new one?I have to take leave from my job and then book the ticket to india.kindly guide me.i will be very grateful.
