Noc from lawyer - closed case

darrel (Querist) 09 March 2015 This query is : Resolved
Hi,

Have a very simple question regarding a property case. The case was being handled by a lawyer who did not do his job properly. However, somehow the case came to a closure because the parties involved reached an agreement. The order was decreed in our favor. The case as of today stands closed. My questions are:

1. Do we still need a NOC from lawyer who handled the case for registering the court order?
2. Do we need an NOC from the lawyer if we decide to sell the property in the future?
3. The court order was in favor of 5 parties with the property being divided 20% each. If one of the parties is willing to buy the other's share in the property and register the same, is an NOC from the lawyer required.

Few lawyers we have spoken to say that NOC is required, and few others say that it is not required. Our main concern is that if we proceed without an NOC would the lawyer who handled the case be able to create trouble in the future. We want to be completely sure from a legal standpoint. We have been trying to contact the lawyer, but he is not answering his cell phone, or keeps asking us to come today / tomorrow. He is using delay tactics, and does not seem to be intending to provide the NOC.

Most of the online community states that if the case is closed then a NOC is not required.

Could someone who is an expert in this field advice what the reality is. Is an NOC necessary??

Thanks for our time and help.

Well advised.

No NOC is required. No advocate will do any harm to his client. They are busy with their own work. Go ahead as you plan.
