Reply is to be sent. Who sends is immaterial. But what is of utmost importance is that the reply should be appropriate and taking care of the noticee's legal interests.

I support views of Anirudh ji + Dr.
If for trifling matter, not serious or of small amt, you may reply yourself in few words, denying the allegations.
If of serious nature or of considerable amount of money or property or 138 ni, you must reply through your Advocate.
In fact, in all cases, it is always better to reply thru Advocate.
Money can be re-gained, not opportunity to answer well. As Risk involved in replying it on our own.
Small Legal Point, that you can't see [like jurisdiction, time bar etc] and you may have to suffer for years in court, due to your ignorance of legal point.

1.The individual can also reply,
2. A legal notice sent by an advocate is a prelude to a Court case & is an important document,
3. So, the said individual should ensure that he is quite proficient in dealing with the subject matter.

It is always not advisable to reply the notice but even then it is appropriate to avail the services of a lawyer to decide either to reply and if yes then the contents of the reply should be judicious.

It is pertinent to issue reply notice, either by the party or through an advocate. while issuing a reply notice by the party themselves, the possibilities of committing to the demand are more, the reply should be properly drafted so that no such error happens.
