I am a senior citizen age 67 with no wife or children & live alone in a rented apartment.
I rented an apartment 18 years ago with only an oral agreement that I can stay as long as I want if I paid rent of Rs.4000.00 per month in cash which I did for 14 years. He did not give rent receipts.
Electricity,phone bills & Maintenance are in his name which I paid by checks for 18 years & I have original bills & receipts.
Almost 5 years ago in 2013 he sent two thugs at night when I am alone, who forced me to open the door saying that they have bought the apartment & want me to vacate immediately
I then hastily hired a lawyer who filed a suit. He never contacted me even though evidence hearing dates started posting since January 2017 & Now he says I have a final Evidence Hearing date ( My lawyer Calls it as a written Jubani ) tomorrow July 24 & wants original documents.
I can’t pull all the documents in a day. What can I do ? Can I talk to judge directly to give me more time ?
Lawyer wants originals tomorrow morning. Am I supposed to give him or take them to court ? Will court keep them & return later or verify same day in my presence & give them back to me ?
He is not giving me a copy of written evidence. What can I do ?
Thank You so much.
