Legal notice

neha (Querist) 04 July 2015 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/Madam,

My query is, The lawyer whom we have hired sent a legal notice to opposition party. They have appointed a lawyer from their side and sent a reply notice through him.We need certain clarifications regarding notice(which they have replied).But opposition lawyer stopped communicating with us(not lifting our call/not sending any information in the written form). We don't have oppositions party's contact No.
We are in a little dilemma.What we are supposed to do in this situation?

Please advise me in this regard.

Thanks in Advance.

The lawyer of the OP is not your lawyer.

The lawyer of OP shall mind the interest of his client. The lawyer of OP is under no obligation to reply to your calls etc.

You have your own lawyer.

What is the advise of your lawyer?

Actually we are living in one city & property(against which there is litigation) is in another city.He is asking us to hire another lawyer who stays in city where property is situated.

Why you want to retain an unwilling lawyer?

Opposite party lawyer not obliged to reply to you or provide further clarifications. The notice was initiated by you. Consider whatever reply received, consult your lawyer & avail further legal remedies.

There seems to be some confusion and it is felt that you have not drafted your query properly.

It appears your property is in one city and engaged a lawyer from another city to issue legal notice to opposite party and lawyer of opposite party has replied to legal notice.

Now your lawyer engaged by you is unwilling to file dispute for you since he/she is not in the city in which your property is located and has suggested you to find a lawyer in the same city where property is located and case is to be filed.

If this is the matter then it is as simple as that you should have in the beginning itself engaged a lawyer from the city where property is located and case is to be filed OR now you to find a lawyer to proceed further.

Isn't it?

You should engage a lawyer practicing in a court under whose jurisdiction the property is situated and proceed. The lawyer of OP is not supposed to reply / attend your calls.

Can we send another notice to OP asking certain clarifications of the notice they have sent earlier through another lawyer who is residing in the city in which property is situated?

Or

Directly file a case in court by hiring new lawyer from the same city?

send counter notice.

Have paid lawyers if property matters to you.

U can send any number of legal notices till U get the desired reply,either to the opp party or their lawyer,wasting UR valuable time and money.

Instead of wasting time & Money by sending legal notices. What should we are supposed to do?

We are 100% sure that the OP had done fabrication of documents. But they are hiding the things by replying mute.

Hence both the complainant and the respondent have to be extra alert with their cases instead of relying entirely on the lawyer.
