Whether an advocate can appear before a maintenance tribunal or not
01-Mar-2023 (In Documentation Law)
As per Maintenance & Welfare of Parents & Senior Citizens Act, 2007, Section 3 (Act to have overiding effect) and Section 17 (Right to legal representation), Advocates cannot appear before Maintenance Tribunal or its Appellate Tribunal. But, as per Advocate Act, 1961, Section 30 (Right of advocates to practice), advocates can appear before any Tribunal. My doubt is that by considering these two Acts, whether an advocate can appear before a Maintenance Tribunal or not ?
