Only if he leaves that case. This means he either can remain witness or a counsel for that party.

A counsel can not be witness to his party even after he leaves the brief for him as these are professional communications and barred to be testified before court of law u/s 126 of the Evidence Act unless it could be shown that those communications were in furtherance of any illegal purpose or any crime is going to be committed.
