whether he has given any undertaking to the effect that original vakalatnama ill be submitted in due course or it is countersigned by indian embassy or legal counsel of USA for verification that opponent have signed before him. If not then you may take objection on such submission.

Futher to the above reply, you also need to note that it is not necessarily that the Plaintiff or Respondent has to sign the vakalatnama in presence of the Advocate. It can be signed by their advocate, then handed over to the Respondent/ plaintiff and they can as per time convienience sign it and then in return send it to their advocate.
