You can approach any advocate ready and willing to do the services as per your description either from this website or outside.

You can choose any advocate of this forum through phone consultation and get to know if they would be willing to take up your case on the pro bono basis during the phone consultation..

To find an advocate willing to provide pro bono services, you can explore options like the Nyaya Bandhu app which connects advocates with eligible beneficiaries, or contact your local District Legal Services Authority (DLSA) for referrals. 

Bar associations and the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) website also offer avenues for finding pro bono assistance.

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your situation. Domestic family issues, especially those involving abuse, require careful handling, empathy, and a well-thought-out legal strategy.

I understand your need for an advocate who is patient, client-friendly, and committed to giving personal attention. While I usually handle a variety of matters, I do believe that such sensitive cases deserve dedicated time and a supportive environment.

I’d be happy to discuss your case further to understand your concerns and explore how I can assist you within the framework of your financial constraints. Please feel free to send me a direct message or email me at advocateayushj[at]gmail.com.

Warm regards,
Adv. Ayush S. Jain

There are many excellent Legal practitioners on this platform. You can contact anyone of them from your city based on your requirementS

SIR/MADAM,

It is suggested that you contact through kaanoon.com plateform to engage an advpcate of your choice. This plateform has so many advocates of youe choice but you can't contact them directly nor they will share the contact information here with you.  

- You can engage a lawyer of this website or can contact any lawyer firstly to discuss the matter. 

Legal Services Authorities provide free consultation and legal services to eligible litigants, including those appearing in person, as long as they meet the criteria of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987.

The primary goal is to provide free and competent legal assistance to those who are unable to afford it, and appearing in person doesn't disqualify someone if they are otherwise eligible. 

Legal aid is the full provision of legal representation for a case, while legal advice and assistance is for consultation on a legal matter.

Even if you are not eligible for full legal aid, you can still get legal advice from a Legal services authority.

It’s for engagement. But you can seek advice by visiting legal aid authorities 

You can approach the district legal aid centre in your city for legal consultation .they can appear on your behalf 

NALSA/SLSA Free Advocate for Party-in-Person:

Yes. NALSA and SLSA provide free legal aid advocates in two ways:

1. For Consultation Only: Free advice on your case without engaging advocate for appearance.​

2. For Case Appearance: Free advocate assigned to represent you in court if you meet eligibility criteria (income-based for most cases; all domestic violence victims qualify).​

It's NOT compulsory to engage private advocate if SLSA provides free legal aid advocate.​

For you (Chennai, domestic abuse): Contact TNSLSA at 15100 (helpline) → Get free consultation → If needed, apply for free legal aid advocate for court appearance.​

- If your financial position is not sound , then you can apply before LSA for getting an advocate free of cost. 

Yes you can seek leave and do the needful 

Under the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), the court has wide discretion to allow interrogatories at any stage of the suit, including while the plaintiff's cross-examination is in progress.

2) You must file an application with the court to seek leave to deliver the interrogatories to the opposite parties (defendants).

The stage for seeking leave to deliver interrogatories is after the pleadings are complete (plaint and written statement filed) but before the evidence begins.

Hence, they must ordinarily be sought before the commencement of trial, i.e. before evidence and cross-examination.

However, 

you may still move an application under Order XI Rule 1 CPC seeking leave of the Court to deliver interrogatories, provided you show:

1. They are necessary for fair disposal of the suit, and

2. They relate to matters in question in the suit.

So long as the cross-examination has not actually started, most courts will still permit it, though they will expect you to explain why you didn’t apply earlier.

You can access free or low-fee legal aid advocates through the National or State Legal Services Authority (NALSA/SLSA), who provide patient, service-oriented lawyers for consultation and court representation in domestic abuse cases, without the need to hire a private lawyer immediately. Contact the Tamil Nadu State Legal Services Authority helpline (15100) for assistance in Chennai. Posting on local legal forums like LawRato or PathLegal may also help find suitable private advocates willing to work on nominal fees or pro bono basis.

There is no such provision that your parents would not be informed regarding recordings submitted by you 

your parents must have opportunity to rebut the recordings 

The law will not play to the tunes of any individual's whims and fancies.

There's no provision in law to implement your such personal desires.

You may have to take steps to safeguard your privacy but remember once you produce documentary evidences before a forum or court of law, it becomes a public document, hence you cannot claim privacy over the documents made public.

Pro bono things comes under legal service authority Act

Yes, National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) and State/District Legal Services Authorities (SLSA/DLSA) can provide free legal consultation and advice even if you are appearing party-in-person.

It is not compulsory that the legal aid advocate must appear in court for you. You can request:

Legal advice only (consultation, drafting, guidance), or

Full representation (if you want the advocate to appear).

This is allowed under Section 12 & 13 of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, and the NALSA Legal Services Clinic Scheme ; they specifically provide legal guidance and counselling to individuals who represent themselves.

Under Order XI of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), interrogatories must generally be sought before the trial begins, i.e., before the settlement of issues and commencement of evidence. The purpose is to obtain admissions or clarify facts early ; not after evidence has started.

However, if the cross-examination of the plaintiff has not yet begun, you may still move an application under Rule 1 of Order XI CPC seeking leave of the court to deliver interrogatories, explaining that the questions are necessary for fair adjudication and that no prejudice will be caused.

If evidence or cross-examination has already started, it’s rare but not impossible ; you may request the court to exercise its inherent powers under Section 151 CPC, showing that new facts or concealments justify interrogatories at this later stage.
