Hi experts
my wife put 498a and Dv case in her home town
and there we took a lawyer in hurry burry as we have to take bail and all that. Now in DV case my lawyers is asking rs 5000 each means total number of accused multiplied by 5000 for some stamp duty and legal formalities is it correct or he is making just fool of us.

He is making you all fool. No stamp is required to be affixed except on vakalatnama which may be of Rs. 10 or below Rs. 25/-. Typing cost may be around Rs. 200/-. No more expenses are required to be made and this expense is for all respondents if the joint written statement is to be filed. Change your lawyer and also make complaint against him before Bar Council of his State.

Perhaps you might have misunderstood, he might have quoted his fees to defend per accused. However, if he is asking the said amount towards stamp duty then, as sh. makkad said he is making you all fool.

There is no danger of any dilution. Change of lawyer need nothing special. Engage another lawyer and he shall get NOC from previous one.
