If you have any grievance against the advocate, you can lodge complaint with the Bar Council of the State where he is practicing.

You should file a complaint against this man to the Bar Council of your state which alone has the power to take disciplinary action against a lawyer.

chnage your lawyer as suit has been dismissed on account of your advocate absence . he must have made application for restoration . first let restoration application be decided and suit restored then if you want change your lawyer

Thanks for your response

You mean to say , rght now the case is in pending admission as he has filed to reopen teh case.
So you want me to wait till the case is taken up by the court and then change advocate.
Pls advice

yes dont change now . he has already filed application for setting aside order of dismissal

In the light of given facts, this is the best case for filing a consumer complaint. recover entire amount of compensation from such black sheep which has entered in this noble profession of faith and trust.
