*File a Petition*: If the delay is causing issues, your lawyer might consider filing a petition to bring the matter to the court's attention and request expedited processing. -

Your advocate is probabluy misguiding you or is not knowing the procedures. It is possible to file a vakalatnama (an authorization for an advocate to represent a party in court) even if you haven't received a formal summons, provided you are aware of the pending civil case against you. The key is that you have knowledge of the case and intend to participate in the proceedings. The main purpose of a summons is to inform a defendant about a pending case and compel their appearance in court. If you already know about the case, the purpose of the summons is fulfilled. Order V of The Civil Procedure Code (CPC) allows for situations where a party may not have been formally served with a summons but still enters an appearance and participates in the case. If you know about the case but choose not to appear or file a vakalatnama, the court may proceed with the case ex parte (without your presence). This could lead to a judgment against you without you having a chance to present your to present case. You may change the lawyer if the current lawyer is reluctant to act on your instructions.

Change your lawyer and new lawyer will file vakalatnama in court.
