Transferring wp from one lawyer to another has become a hurdle. how to do it?

We, 10 people have applied a Wp In combined High court of AP and Telangana through a HC lawyer stationed at Hyderabad. After bifurcation the WP proceeds have been transfered to AP HC. The Hyderabad lawyer is not showing any any interest on our cause nor responding to our reminders on the status. In these circumastance we have decided to engauge a lawyer of AP HC to take up and pursue the proceedings. We approached the first lawyer to hand over the case to the present lawyer. For that he is demanding a large sum of fifty thousand from us. Is there any way to continue the old case WP No. with the new lawyer without paying him that amount? As he has not appeared even once in the AP HC.

You have to take NOC from previous lawyer and then file it in HC  and then you can get a new lawyer who can appear in AP HC.if you had paid full fee of previous lawyer then he can't demand any more money from you.

The demand is less than professional. Given the unique situation, it could be possible to engage another advocate even without NOC from the first advocate.

You can't engage new lawyer with out taking NOC from previous lawyer. Even HC will not allow it.
