Yes you can appear and plead the case on behalf of your son.

Yes but produce a letter of authority from your son.

Sorry Sir I don't agree with above seniors. You must be an advocate otherwise you may waste the time of forum due to ignorance of legal provisions.

I think pl.go through the regulations. authorised agent is permitted to appear,here in this case a power of attorney can appear,but the only reuirement is that such power of attorney should not be doing business like this.

Sorry, u can't appear, as u are neither advocate nor party, only advocates are entitled to practice the law, and for the purpose of appearance only u haveto submit SPA/GPA executed by ur son.
