As you said the second one is performa respondent, a performa respondent and plaintiff can not engage a same advocate.

I don't think so that there is any problem to engage two different lawyers as the co-plaintiff already adopted the petition & filed the affidavit for the same.

There is no hurdle to engage as much as counsel as the contesting parties can afford. In the given case also both the plaintiffs are free to engage the counsel of their own choice and no co-plaintiff (newly admitted from performa) can be forced to engage the counsel already representing the old plaintiff.
