Advocate ... party .. in.. person

An advocate registered in Barcouncil just in Aug 2024. Is it possible to him to file an application to do his own arguments on his own with self representation in AP High Court as a Petitioner - in- Person? The case details inbrief are : One of the Govt Dept is not obeying AP Administrative Tribunal Judgement since 1999. Petitioner worked inthat Dept. for some time. Some arrears are pending . Dept. didn't care his pleas. He approached AP Administrative Tribunal and got favourable order to him on 01-02-1999. But Dept. didn't implement.  he sent two legal notices and sent several RTI Notices and sent so many reqests to implement. Final reply recently is As this is an issue related to 20 Years back there are no details with that Dept. Now This Person wants to approach to High Court for Mandamus. All documents are ready with im. So Is it possibel to him to argue self representation as a Petitioner - in- Person for Mandamus Writ  in this acse at AP High Court?. 



Quick Summary
A recent advocate, registered with the Bar Council in August 2024, is inquiring about the possibility of filing an application for self-representation as a Petitioner-in-Person in the AP High Court. The case involves a government department's non-compliance with an AP Administrative Tribunal judgment from 1999, despite numerous follow-ups. The general consensus is that any party, including an advocate, can indeed appear and argue their own case as a party-in-person, provided they adhere to the necessary procedural requirements.

Yes he can very well appear as party in person by complying with the procedures for the purpose and argue his own case.

The party (either of them) can appear and plead his case as party-in-person even if he is an advocate or not.
