When your lawyer drafted a petition under your instruction he is definitely entitled for his professional fees. As you instructed your lawyer not to proceed with the case he i.e., your lawyer cannot be responsible. Of course, you can request him to consider the quantum of his fees as to the present situation.

Settle the matter with your lawyer, he is entitled for fees for providing professional services to you at your request.
T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 02 February 2014
With the intention of engaging and retaining his services you approached the lawyer and agreed to pay his fees for the purpose. If you withdraw you intention who is responsible for it, he is ready to do service to you but you do not want it any more, but you must see that he has drafted the petition, it means he has almost done the main job of your case, so you are bound to pay atleast a sizeable portion of agreed fees.
