never do it . the bench may not be taking cases due to heavy board . you must have engaged a lawyer . ask him to move the bench for expediting final hearingon grounds that issue is covered by other judegements

Having engaged a lawyer to represent your case, the Court will not entertain you to present the case in person.

If you want to appear in person, then you have to certainly withdraw the vakalatnama given in favour of your lawyer.

Further, as advised by Mr. Sethi, please remember, if your lawyers could not achieve what you want, I don't think that you will in your personal capacity be able to achieve anything. It is not the incompetence of the lawyer that you are talking, but you want to appeal in person to earn the sympathy of the Bench. That may happen if you appear in person. But technically whether you would be able to handle the matter is the question.

In any case, whenever your case comes up, you can also be present in the Court, and your lawyer can point towards you and say that you are suffering.
