2. In the coming date you need not be physically present and your lawyer is enough to represent you in the court,

3. In the summons the language of ' attendance' is in routine manner and if you engage an advocate by giving him a vakalatnama you need not attend the court.

4 Do not get tense on this trivial issue as the long road is waiting ahead for the lengthy court battle.

5. if you are unemployed then do apply for maintenance in the said case later on.

Hello,

1) You are not required to attend the court in person on the first date as it would suffice that your lawyer represent you.

2) Although the notice/summons would say that the personal is required, it is but part of the court language and your personal attendance would be required only during the stage of evidence or conciliation meetings of any that arise.

3) As long as you have your counsel to defend and contest do not be worried about routines of the proceedings. It would however be advisable to closely follow the progress of the case at every stage and provide all co operation to your counsel to take the case forward.

1. You need not attend to the Court at this stage,

2. It will be enough if your lawyer attand the Court for and on your behalf,

3. However, it is always advisable to attend Court during hearings to keep track of the status of case and not depend on what lawyer says.

Your presence in the court at this stage is not necessary. But it is always advisable to be present on each and every hearing. Your lawyer has advised you correctly.

1. Your lawyer is right. You need not personally appear in the court if you have engaged a lawyer. The presence of your lawyer shall be deemed as your presence in the court.

2. Likewise the petitioner is also not required to appear in the court on the next date of hearing.

3. The ''vakalathnama'' of a lawyer cannot be cancelled except by the lawyer himself. When a court orders the appearance of a person in a proceeding before him it implies that the said person shall either appear personally or be represented by a lawyer.
