What makes you think you should not be filing Vakalatnama? In my opinion court also includes court martial. There are four kinds of courts-martial in India. These are the General Court Martial (GCM), District Court Martial (DCM), Summary General Court Martial (SGCM) and Summary Court Martial (SCM). According to the Army Act, army courts can try personnel for all kinds of offences except for murder and rape of a civilian, which are primarily tried by a civilian court of law.
Are you appearing for some case related with Writ Petition (Civil) No. 462 of 2007 of Supreme Court?

Thank you very much for your information. No not for SC or HC but for GCM. Thank you very much indeed for the responds and the link. I am working on whether Court Martial falls within the meaning of Court, that's all.
