if the defendant is only one than you can file memo also and of more defendants than you can appear on others bahlf and argue.

You can not file counter and also you can not argue the matter without vakalath signed by the defendant.You can request the court orally to adjourn the matter for next date.

You can even give application that you have received oral directions from the client to appear in the matter and regular vakalat will be produced in due course.
