A.Dear Client,

You have the right to add any number of advocates to represent you in court, and there is no specific limit to this. Additionally, if you have lost faith or confidence in your current lawyer, you have the right to change counsel. To do so, you can follow these steps:

1. Get NOC from Previous Lawyer: Obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your previous lawyer. This typically involves clearing all outstanding fees owed to the lawyer.

2. Engage a New Lawyer: Once you have the NOC, you are free to engage a new lawyer of your choice.

3. Apply to the Court: If your previous lawyer is unwilling to issue a NOC even after clearing the fees, you can apply to the court where the case is pending. Request a change of advocate and explain the reasons for the change.

4. Court Approval: The court may review your application and, if it deems it reasonable, grant permission for the change of advocate. This approval allows you to engage a new lawyer for representing your case before the court.

It's important to follow the legal procedures and obtain necessary approvals when making changes to legal representation in an ongoing case.

A.Dear Sir,
Order 3 of Civil Procedure Code gives aggrieved persons the right to choose one’s pleader. Therefore changing of pleader with the leave of the Court is possible. The new pleader should submit a duly signed Vakalathnama to the court. Hence it is possible to change one’s pleader. In a few cases problem arises with the case history. If the pleader fails to give it to the client, the client can apply for the order sheet by an application to the Court.

In normal Courts, NOC (No objections certificate) to be taken from the previous Advocate. The previous advocate may sign on the left margin of Vakalathnama (Power) saying he has no objection to engage any other Advocate.

In case, previous Advocate not ready to give NOC then the aggrieved party/client can issue a notice by himself to his previous Advocate saying that he is not comfortable with his service as such his legal services are terminated with immediate effect. Such notice to be sent to the previous Advocate by registered post acknowledgment due (RPAD). Then copy of such notice and postal receipt may be produced before the Court by the new Advocate along with new Vakalathnama which will be accepted by the Court by terminating the services of previous Advocate.
