Dear Sir,
The maintenance case filed u/s 18
on the false allegation that the husband is impotent (medical board certified that husband is potent).
Now wife appealed in the high court asking for continuation of interim maintenance of Rs.5000 pm, (which I had paid until the disposal of main case at the family court)
until the disposal of the main case at high court. I recently appeared for the first time before high court, after I received the notice and asked the judge 2 weeks time to engage
an advocate.
I have the following questions in this regard
(1) Is it a good idea to represent the case party-in-person? what are the difficulties, I may have to face?
(2) Actually, I know my case very well and I was the one who had written and filed the written arguments in the family court.
How differently, the high court lawyer may argue? as far as the content of the case is concerned, I am well aware of the case,
what extra benefits I would get by engaging an high court advocate?
(3) Apart from case content, what extra knowledge is required to argue my own case?
(4) If someone is already there, who has done / is doing this, could you please share your experiences (pros/cons)?
Regards,
Naresh
