Quick Summary

If you've paid your advocate a significant portion of their fees but they are not progressing your case, you have several options. While some suggest approaching the Bar Council or Consumer Court, advice indicates that the Consumer Commission may not have jurisdiction. The Bar Council of India (BCI) typically handles breaches of professional conduct. It is often recommended to change your advocate to someone more proactive and honest. You can also make a complaint to the State Bar Council.

Change your Advocate. Consumer commission has no jurisdiction. BCI is applicable only when Advocate has broken any code of conduct. I believe your case doesn't fall under the purview of BCI even, so better to change your Advocate and engage a honest and proactive Advocate.
