Can a lawyer be the witness for sale agreement by his wife
30-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)
Myself and my husband signed an agreement for purchase of a flat in Bengaluru which was owned by a lady. Her Husband who was a lawyer offered us all help to draft the agreement. He has also signed as a witness. Is it legally permitted?
Yes you can proceed with the purchase. If you disagree with any clause in the Agreement you can request it to be changed as per law.It is safe to make legal dependents of the seller consenting witness in the Sale Deed too.If you still have any doubt regarding title of the flat you can contact me for verification along with EC and recent tax paid receipt of the flat.

Can I file a case without lawyer?
You can also file a civil case without an advocate or lawyer. It is not mandatory to use an advocate for filing civil cases. A party can appear personally in court to defend his case. Googling your legal issue online?
Can a normal person fight his own case in court?
Yes. Yes. The Supreme Court ruled that no one, except petitioner in person can argue cases for others. It is not a right to allow someone to present their case in court.
Can a lawyer fight his family case?
There is no restriction on the same. So dont hesitate to hire a lawyer that is a member of your family. It is legal. Advocate family members often become emotionally involved in the case, and fail to successfully represent their client.
Can you defend yourself in court in India?
A citizen of India may represent himself or herself in a court of law. This person does not have to be represented by an attorney.
Sir,
The lawyer can be a witness to a agreement of purchase in his personal capacity not in official capacity. The official capacity means who prepared the agreement of sale. Please check that who is prepared the agreement of Sale, In case if it was prepared by some one and the said advocate signed the same, then it is valid.

madum/sir, THE agreement witnessed by the husband is no wrong in law. There should be two witness. At least, one witness should be from your side who was well aware of your sale . If the agreement is signed by the vendor's husband is also legal subject to payment requisite stamp duty.
