Vakalatnama

GS (Querist) 19 May 2014 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/ Madam,

My mother-in-law is a retired Bihar state govt employee. Many of her colleagues want to petition in the Supreme Court for their pension fixation on 6th pay commission. They asked her to sign a Vakalatnama and send it to them.

I wanted to know - whether sending a signed copy of Vakalatnama on an A4 sheet will be okay or we need to get a non-judicial stamp (and what amount) notarised with her signatures on it for sending this Vakalatnama. We are currently in Bangalore.

Thanks!
GS

1. sending a signed copy of Vakalatnama on an A4 sheet will be okay but do not sign any blank papers. Usually a vakalatnama is always printed form of an advocate.

2. There is no need for making such vakalatnama on n.j. stamp paper.
