Sir,
We are facing Fair rent & eviction case in small cause court of madras high court. Our lawyer is our family friend, so we didn’t paid that much attention in the case. But now we smell something fishy, because our lawyer sometime says that the case is in beginning stage, so no need for hurry in gathering evidence for our argument, and sometime he says the opponent (property owner) have some valid points so the judgments may be in favor of him. But in reality, he (owner) didn’t have any strong evidence for his own occupancy.
In the beginning, the gaps between the hearings are longer, but now the hearings are taking place in quick session. And we didn’t attend any of them as our lawyer is our well known friend. When we ask, what happened in the court, then he replays nothing important, normal conversation with the opponent layer.
We really don’t know whether any proof is submitted by the opponent and by our lawyer.
My question is,
- Is it possible to get the exact status of our case with complete details i.e. what happened in every hearing?
- And Is it possible to get the details without our lawyer’s knowledge?
- If it is sounds like he (our lawyer) is faulty then can we hire a new lawyer and continue the case
- Please advise us what should be done, so that we could avoid things like this in future.
Thanking you.
