revocation of court appointed counsel

Guest (Querist) 16 May 2011 This query is : Resolved
Respected learned members:

My former housemaid's son has been in judicial custody for the past 6 months. He is facing charges under S.376 IPC. The matter is being conducted by a defence lawyer duly appointed by the Honb'le Court.

The problem is that the defence counsel hardly shows up on the dates fixed. Also, he has been hesitant to file a bail application so far. (Earlier bail application filed by another counsel was rejected). In other words, he is not at all interested to provide any relief to the accused. He always demands money from the accused's mother to appear in the case. The accused and his family are poor people living below poverty line.

I specifically want to know if it would be wise to intervene in the matter. Should I pray to the court to revoke its order appointing the said counsel?

Your housemaid can always approach the court for appointing a new counsel.

If the court appointed lawyer is from the legal aid center you need not pay any money to him. If he demands money complain to the legal aid center they will change the counsel.
