Hi distinguished members of legal Fraternity,I have a query can an advocate or a lawyer hire another advocate or a lawyer to take up his clients case.If yes then how can one proceed further and if not then what are the rules in this regards? Any help would be appreciable. :(
Yes, lawyers are allowed to hire other lawyers on behalf of their clients, though subject to the agreement of the client if they are going to be arguing on their behalf. Did you want to stop them from hiring another lawyer?
