Process & procedure to change counsel.

s.loganathan (Querist) 19 September 2010 This query is : Resolved
I have to change my counsel as I am no longer having faith in his ability and trust in his sincerity. There is an ongoing case before the judicial magistrates court. Apart from clearing his bill, what are the things that I need to obtain from the outgoing counsel? What must I do for the new counsel, apart from making advance payment? How should I inform the court about this?

You have to obtain ; No objection; from your earlier client and to get the same vocalatnama containing the 'no objection' filed with the court. The court is to informed on the date when your new lawyer will appear.

well to correct it a bit, I think Devajyoti mistakenly used the word Client instead of counsel/ lawyer.
