Civil suit

This query is : Resolved
Mr. A (Plaintiff) is going to file civil suit for possession of of property in person in the name of A (Plaintiff) with irrevocable power of attorney in favour of Mr.B (son of Plaintiff) who is not an Advocate to represent Mr.A (Plaintiff) in this Suit.
My query for the respectable member is that in the later important stages for e.g. evidence, argument etc. of this suit if Mr.A (Plaintiff to the suit) wants to appoint Advocate in this suit to represent Plaintiff along with Mr.B (son of Plaintiff who is not an Advocate) without withdrawing Power of Attorney.
Is it practically Possible to do that?
Plaintiff think that court will allow this because , More than one Advocate can plead for one party jointly & Plaintiff confused on this that what will happened if court does not allow this ? & if court denied this ,then will this create any problem for plaintiff in future?
Respectable members, Please guide. Do not think it as academic query.
Thanking you.

Yes, it is acceptable but as long an advocate is handling a case the party in person or its POA holder can not argue the case.

Rightly observed by experts that if the case is represented by the advocate, the POA holder will not be allowed to conduct the case or make his arguments.
