Yes a person apply for certified copy as an advocate is indeed not a third party.
If he wants to apply as third party he can do so in his individual capacity and not applying as an advocate.

An advocate is a person who speak for other. If you require documents for any of your client then you are required to file Vakalatnama. If documents are required for your own use then file application in individual capacity. Court rightly rejected application
