Hiring a new lawyer fir quashing which is a joint petition

You can add a new lawyer to argue on your behalf without affecting the joint quashing petition. Since the petition is already filed, you don't need to refile individually. Both lawyers can argue on behalf of their respective clients.¹ To make this change, you'll need to file a memo or application before the court, stating your intention to change lawyers. This memo should include the name and details of the new lawyer you wish to appoint.² It's essential to note that the court may consider the impact of changing lawyers on the case's progress. However, since the petition is already filed and has been pending for eight months, the court might allow the change without significant disruption. Before proceeding, consult with your new lawyer to discuss the best course of action and ensure a smooth transition. They can guide you through the process and help you navigate any potential issues that may arise. *Key Takeaways:* - You can add a new lawyer to argue on your behalf without refiling the petition individually. - File a memo or application before the court to change lawyers. - Consult with your new lawyer to discuss the best course of action and ensure a smooth transition.

Different petitioners can hire different lawyers. 

Different respondents can hire different lawyers. 

Since you already hired a lawyer, you must get NOC from him. 

Usually the practice is you prepare a new vakalath for your new lawyer, and the present lawyer will endorse and sign on the new vakalath that he has no objection or that he consents for change of vakalath. 

It is advisable to engage separate lawyer(s) for petitioner(s) and respondent(s) so that you can reap benefit of 1+1=11
