I am awaling free legal service form Nation Legal service authority.
But the lawyer appointed for me is not serious.
The Simon was not delivered to other party and 2 dates passed he was not aware and gave me no update.
From the third date I looked up online, posted messages on forum and find the way to deliver the dasti symons by myself after having little argument to speed up the process.

Again his people has was not aware of the next date. It’s me who is keeping track online and following the case.

I am not getting the right answer for his legal help. Or he is not giving any legal advice, he is not interested and doing for he hack or it.

How can I change my lawyer..

Quick Summary

If you're receiving free legal services and your appointed lawyer is not being proactive or providing adequate support, you have options. You can lodge a complaint with the District Legal Aid Authority, typically headed by the District Judge, or use the NALSA portal. It's advisable to approach the Secretary of the District Legal Service Authority with specific details about your case and the lawyer's poor performance. They have a duty to ensure you receive proper legal service, and can arrange for a replacement advocate if necessary.

It took 10 months after missing some date just to deliver summons.
If taken seriously and follow up properly would have done by 2-3 months

Yes. In some cases, it may take a long time. However, you can complain to the District legal aid authority (District Judge is the competent person) or you can log into NALSA.

It is better to engage a private counsel to proceed properly.

You may approach the Secretary, District Legal Service authority and tells him the facts. He would be a Sub Judge functioning as Secretary. He may change the advocate immediately.

Since you are poor it is his duty to give you proper legal service through the advocates listed by them. Some of the advocates in the panel get into the list just because of their subservience to the officials or bar association in the place. Such advocates might be incapable of handling the case. Even sessions case may reach in the hands of such people.

Such system failures are there in the judiciary too. It is not possible to rectify such failures properly.

In case that doesn’t work, you may make a complaint to the Chairman of the District Legal Service Authority, who would be a District Judge.
