1. For filing and hearing of a civil suit the physical presence of the party is not required.

2. The advocate or conducting advocate can file the case if signed and notarised by the party.

3. it is not clear what do you mean by ' mistake'. I may repeat that to err is human and the court is also not above making mistakes.

You are asking questions about filing procedures before high court.

There are lot of issues to be taken care while filing.

The issues what you refer to are not part of filing procedures.

It is advisable that you better discuss with your advocate at length on all such issues so that you do not have to run around for each and every petty issue.

Even a small mistake in filing will not be accepted by high court.

Until and unless asked by the court the petitioner limit to appear before the court and the Advocate is authorised to appear before the court through vakalatnama which is authorising the Advocate to speak to the court on behalf of the client it depends on signature of the of the petition that if any notarized affidavit is required other than the initial affidavit relating to the case.

hello

        Generally petitioners dont appear in the hc. The lawyers do the arguments and the proceedings go on. In special cases the court may summon the petition but that is very rare. The affidavit should be done at Bombay hc only. Your pic would be affixed on the petition and you have to sign every page.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that you may have been in some personal difficulty m, and that is why may not be able to come before the bench.
  2. Yes, if nature of the petition if Civil then you may need not to be present unless there is a court order for your appearance specifically.
  3. But, if the nature of the petition is criminal then you need to be there every time except few times and that is also after making an application from exemption.
  4. Notary should be of that state only in whose High Court, Petition is going to be heard and whatever you have stated in the petition via on oath in the affidavit should contain all true only.

Notary can be done from any place

If you have given vakalatnama to a lawyer then he can represent you in the matter

You must take care not to make any mistakes in the document which you submit to court as later it will be difficult to amend that as the opponent will object

You can log into the high court website through ecourts.gov.in and penetrate inside by clicking the correct options to find out the status of your case.

Alternately you can even contact your advocate and enquire about the progress/status of the case.

If it is listed on a particular day, you may confirm the item number in the list and see if there are chances that the case will reach that day or not.

You can contact your advocate and be in touch with him on all such issues.

After filing you will be allotted with a SR Number, i.e., registration number of the case file. 

Then it will go for scrutiny by the concerned officials, who after scrutinisation, if found in order and acceptable, then they will take it on file and allot a case number which will reflect in the ecourts.gov.in.

After that it will be listed for hearing on the specified date as mentioned, however you will not get any information from court, you may have to get to know from your advocate or through ecourts web site.

Your advocate will be getting the information through SMS to his given phone number about the next date of hearing or listing details.

If you want to file a criminal case as a private complaint then you may file the same under section 200 cr.p.c.

That's the difference between lawyers who charge less and those charge more

Not necessarily those who charge less are always bad coz there are exceptions 

And not necessarily those who charge more are always good coz there are exceptions there too

It's your bad luck that the lawyers you engage are not prompt

And something's are not within the control of lawyer

Such things are dependent on the court and its corrupt registry (again there are exceptions there)
