Problem with Advocate/Advocate Extorting Money

My advocate is collecting huge amounts on account of Court Fee, the subject of which is out of my knowledge and says that since my case is complicated one he needs to bribe some one to get the case on the bench. The bribe amount as per him runs into half a lakh rupees.

My case is simple one and is to obtain certified copies of certain information from District Registrar under Specific Releif Act.

On some account or other he says he needs money.

How do I obtain No objection Certificate and my case related papers from him as I do not want to continue with his service.

This may sound offending, but it is true, what is the solution for this?
