In situations where advocates are on strike or work is suspended, parties can appear without an advocate in court.

According to the *Civil Procedure Code, 1908*, specifically Order III Rule 1, a party can appear in person or through a recognized agent.¹

Additionally, the *Advocates Act, 1961*, Section 32, states that a court may permit a person who is not an advocate to appear before it in a particular case.

However, this is at the discretion of the court. It's also worth noting that the *Supreme Court Rules, 2013*, under Order IV Rule 1(a), allow a court to permit a person who is not an advocate to appear before it and argue a case.

In your situation, since the court has given the next date as April 9, 2025, you can request the court to permit the opposite party to appear without an advocate, citing the relevant provisions.

However, the court's decision will ultimately depend on its discretion. It's recommended that you consult with a lawyer or seek guidance from the court staff to understand the specific procedures and rules applicable to your case.

Absentism of advocates from work do not affect the case(s) of party-in-person, when you have filed it, appeared and proceeded.

Reply to second part of your question may be searched by you when you are proficient with law of the land.

There is no restriction for the party to appear as party in person especially when the advocates boycott court for some reason.

It is applicable forthe opposite party too
