Yes. A change of counsel requires a No-Objection Certificate from the advocate presently on record, or leave of the court where one is not given, followed by a fresh vakalatnama. The chamber will not approach a client already represented by another advocate.
An application is drafted and moved at the earliest available listing, including before the duty court during vacations and holidays where the court permits. Timing depends on the court’s roster, not on the chamber. Telephone directly for anything involving an arrest.
Yes — before the Punjab & Haryana High Court, the Delhi High Court, and tribunals across Delhi-NCR including NCLT, HRERA and the Consumer Commissions. Appearances further afield are arranged case by case.
Communications between a client and an advocate made for the purpose of professional engagement are privileged under Indian evidence law, and the chamber is bound by the Bar Council of India’s rules on client confidentiality. The privilege does not extend to communications made in furtherance of an illegal purpose.
No honest advocate will give you a date. What can be given is the ordinary run of stages for your kind of matter and the realistic range seen at this court. You will be told at the consultation if the timeline makes fighting less sensible than settling.
