Appearing party in person

My Advocate died in Mishap. I know that My Case against the Govt. can be dragged by the G.O.I for unduly long time. I am a non-practicing Advocate, aged 70 Years, wants to  pursue my case  as a Party-in-person since  I cannot afford another Advocate. What is the procedure for applying for appearance in the High Court of Telangana.

Application Submission: File a formal application with the High Court's Registry. Verification: The court may require a preliminary assessment to ensure the applicant understands the legal process. Permission Grant: After scrutiny, the court issues an order allowing the applicant to proceed as Party-in-Person

File application under section 151 of cpc in HC to appear in person in ur case.

Any litigant can appear party in person. It requires no special permission unless so prescribed by rules. At present, permission is required for appearing P-in-P in the Supreme Court and some High Courts. Bombay High Court has mandated such permission, but for Kerala High Court, there is no such restriction. As, to Telengana, as far as I could ascertain, no such permission is required except that when a party who has retained an advocate or attorney to appear for him in a civil case shall not be heard in person unless he first withdraws the vakalatnamah.

Thq. for the Quick response. Since my Advocate died withdrawal of Vakalat may not be applicable.

Well analysed, opined and advised by learned experts, I endorse it.

Appear as party-in-person after seeking permission of the Court.

In Telangana high court it is mandatory to follow the prescribed procedures for appearing as party in person and of course the procedures to appear as party in person has been mandated in almost all the high courts across the country. 

You may visit the high court registrar with an application and comply with further requirements as per the instructions instead of going by misleading information through public forums like this.

Thq. This is a fine response and a correct one.
