Yes, you can switch lawyers at any time. However, ensure the new lawyer is informed about the previous extensions and the current status of the case to avoid further delays. You may need to pay the previous lawyer’s fees for services rendered.

Respected Sir, I filed an appeal in the High Court in 2015 against a decision by the Additional District Judge under the Rent Control Act. The case status always showed “Judgment Type – Interlocutory Non AFR” until the last listing, where it changed to “Judgment Type – Final Non AFR” while the overall case status remains “PENDING”. Could you please explain the meaning of these changes? I would be grateful for your guidance. Thanks and Regards, DK Verma

I’ve applied for a home loan and the bank’s lawyer needs some old documents for the process. I have everything from 2008 onwards, but can’t find anything older. They’ve asked for: 1. A parent’s document from before 2008 – I’ve searched but can’t find it. 2. A land ownership document (patta) from before 2008 – same problem. 3. An old Adangal certificate (property tax record) – I need it for the last 13 years. How can I get these old Adangal certificates from the Taluk office?

I was born in Andhra Pradesh but my hometown is in Madhya Pradesh. During my college years in Pune, I needed a domicile certificate but didn’t have one. To get it, I had to obtain a new birth certificate from my hometown stating I was born in MP. It’s been ten years now, and I’m worried I might have accidentally used this incorrect birthplace in other documents, like my voter ID. Could this lead to legal trouble? Is there a way to correct this mistake, including my birth place on documents where I might have mistakenly mentioned MP? Does the government have any scheme similar to the income declaration scheme to address these issues? I’d appreciate guidance in complete confidentiality.

An elderly couple, both over 75 years old, have three sons but no daughters. The eldest two are struggling financially and unable to care for their parents. Their youngest son, who previously provided for them, sadly passed away last year. He had no children of his own but legally adopted a six-year-old child. Before his death, he built a house worth 20 lakhs and had 4 lakhs in savings. Unfortunately, he didn’t leave a will. Now, the elderly parents are being denied access to their son’s house by their daughter-in-law and are living in a rented property. They have no income of their own. They are seeking legal guidance: 1. Can they claim a portion of their son’s property and savings? If so, what steps should they take and what percentage of the property can they request? Which legal sections should they refer to when approaching the court? 2. What are the approximate court fees? As they are impoverished with a BPL card, are they eligible for any court fee waivers? Should they file their case in the court where the property is located?
