You have to take 'no objection' of the existing lawyer for filing a new vakalatnama in a civil case. However if the lawyer refuses to give 'no objection' then, you can file an application in the court seeking permission to terminate his vakalatnama and permission to file a new one.

client cannot discharge his advocate without leave of court in criminal cases.

A party who wishes to discharge the Advocate engaged by him may apply to the Court for an order of discharge by following a similar procedure and the Court if it is satisfied may pass order discharging the Advocate and while doing so impose such terms and conditions as it may deem proper. A client and his Advocate cannot themselves decide to stop the Advocate from appearing.
