Vakil Patra (VP)- In the specific context of Indian court proceedings, VP can stand for Vakil Patra, another term for Vakalatnama. This is a legal document through which a client authorizes an advocate to represent them in court. It's basically the lawyer's permission slip to act on the client's behalf.

Hi, as you have not mentioned any details of the case you will have to be present in the court on the next date. Check with the lawyer as you have not taken any updates from your lawyer and and check whose VP ( vakil Partra) was filed in the case. Request court for some time for you to appoint a new lawyer if your old lawyer did not wish to continue with the case.
