We are defendents in ongoing civil case which was in Issue of Service Stage and suddenly last hearing it went to Amendment stage and my lawyer said NFA petition has been filed by opponent. Out Lawyer has not yet filed my valakath yet and she says it is due to System not showing summons served and now she tell my brother that we need to file written statement in next hearing, is this ok to file written statement even though my vakalath is not yet filed and case is still in initial stages?
