LMAO: Find some other lawyer. These things are common.
lOts and lots of Law colleges, lots of lawyers come out to the field each year.
Not all get cases, some become assistants, 100 rs per day lawyer, filing applications given by senior, making notes of dates.
Trust me, when I enter any court, the number of petitioners are less, but the court hall is flooded with lawyers, so much so that if one is of short stature [height] you cannot even see if the judge is sitting in his/her chair.
When such is the case, cases like this will be common.
Just find some other lawyer. And dont post one more query that WHETHER I HAVE TO TAKE NOC FROM OLD LAWYER OR WHAT TO DO TO GET NOC FROM OLD LAWYER OR MY OLD LAWYER IS NOT GIVING ME NOC OR WILL THE JUDGE OBJECT AS I HAVE CHANGED MY LAWYER.
Answer is, No need of NOC from old lawyer, judge wont ask for NOC from old lawyer. Judge just wants some cases to be finished and over irrespective of who represents you !
