YOU REQUEST YOUR LAWYER FOR NOC ON FRESH VAKALTNAMA BY GIVING HIS REMAING FEES, AND HAND OVER TO ANOTHER LAWYER.

in case your existing lawyer refuses to hndover the file of your case back to you. You can still change the lawyer by filing an application before the court (in your present case itself) for discharge of the said lawyer.

sirs,                        we were discussing about changing of vakalatnama.

                                what about " memo of appearance "!

                                in a criminal case, when the accused is in judicial custody, we can only file memo of appearance of the counsel himself stating that his/ her relative has entrusted the case to the concerned counsel to take bail...etc.here the accused has no real voice. in such cases, my doubt is that whether relatives has to obtain the consent of the counsel, before approaching a new lawyer ?

secondly,  in such cases, it  often happens that two different lawyers appears for the same accused, out of sheer mis-understanding ! one lawyer is appointed by his parents, other by his friends . in such cases, what is the procedure ?

previously kerala high court has made it compulsory to file an affidavit of the person who has entrusted the case to the lawyer, through a high court judgment, now it has been taken away, by another  kerala high court judgment.

why  getting signatures of under trial prisoners  in vakalathnama  not allowed ?

or wether we  can file vakalathnama for under trial prisoners also. as per CRIMINAL RULES OF PRACTICE ?

if the ex-lawyer is not signing the vakalatnama for noc then do take permission from the court and file a fresh vakaltnama
