Received notice from SDM court u/s 151 of CPC


05-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)

We have property dispute with our neighbour. He has filed a case in SDM kapashera court. We have received a notice from SDM court kapashera stating 151 of CPC, the date of hearing and my name vs my neighbours name but his lawyer or counsellor name is not given. Should we hire a lawyer immediately or first appear in person before court?

You received a summon from the SDM's court, which requires you to be present in court on the next date of hearing either in person or through a lawyer. It would be advisable that you engage a lawyer to represent you in the matter.

I believe that you ought to hire a lawyer immediately so that the matter can also be processed as expeditiously as possible. You need to get a vakalatnama filed as soon as possible. A lawyer is needed since you might not be as well versed with legal procedure as required in the present case.

I suggest that you please send a scanned copy of the notice you have received. Also check if the notices states you have to appear in person or by a pleader or either. In any case it is suggested that you send a copy of the notice and then we can see what needs to be done.
