Advocate's Status

First Q is No. Advocate should not attest a document that required attestaion by various authority that you mentioned including Notary and Magistrate etc. Secondly, yes advocate can appear with the permission of the Court in his own case.

Yes .. advocate can appear in their own case as party in person

And only the lawyers who are  Notory Public or commissioner of Oaths can attest the documents

yes i agree to our e b

among the advocates only a notary public is authorise to attest a document.

A lawyer can appear and plead his own case before the court as party in person.

Once again I reiterate that unless the advocate is permitted by the court he can not appear and plead his own case. Without the permission of the Court He can not act Like Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde. 

an sdvocate is not a gazetted officer of the state.

an advocate pleading his own case is in the capacity of a litigant and not as advocate. he has to remove his band and gown when arguing his own case. he is just like other litigants appearing in person.

Tripathi sir,

Thanks a lot . I agree with you that an advocate has to put off his band & gown.After that can he argue to the extent cross questioning opposite party?

Assumi sir,

Is that mean that, in a case where an advocate is a party, he has to seek leave of the court, and if granted he can play double role, as a party and as an advocate, arguing the case for self?
