Dear sirs and madams,
I am a woman struggling to survive against politically very powerful husband and in-laws. I have been a victim of domestic violence, who escaped attempts on life of myself and my child. I asked my father to take me from my husband's house and now I am staying with my parents since 3 years. Now my child is nearing 4 years. I have to admit the child to school. But we fear for his well being. So we want to take protection from court.
But the problem is that since my husband and in-laws are very powerful, they can put tremendous pressure on my advocate both politically, financially and by force also. They can force my advocate to give in to their interests or make my case weak. I cannot take that risk. Earlier I had given police complaint but my in-laws influenced them and the police didn't take the complaint but instead forced me go to my in-laws. Now if I go to court they will do the same to my advocate also.
So I was thinking of the idea to appoint my father (but he is not an advocate) to represent my case on my behalf and then take the help and guidance of different advocates to file and run my case. And later when the need arises for argument, I could arrange an advocate specifically for that.
If I feel that any advocate is siding with my opponents, I could easily drop him and I could take the advise of another advocate. Since my father will be representing me and I will not be giving vakalat to any one advocate but I will only be taking advise and appointing different advocates for different purposes I can rest assured that my case is not derailed by my opponents.
Can this be done? Is there provision for this in the law? Will court accept this?
Please give me guidance in this regard. Thank you.
