10-Mar-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hello, I had a legal issue in my own land which is 1800 sqft. We went for an advocate to take my case. He also accepted the case then he said about his fees about 25 k. I also paid his fee in a single payment . This issue happened in January 2019 before covid. After once I paid the fees he said I filed a petition against the opposite parties. I also believed him. But later by late whatever I asked him about the case there is no reply from him. Then I finally asked him what are all the works you done in my case please give me the documents proof of documents. Then only he said it is tough case I'm negotiating with my seniors . I almost waited 12 months for this case. My hope was destroyed. Then I asked him to give my fees back but he refused to give and threatening me to not ask the fees back I don't know what do and where and how to complaint on him. Please help me..
If you have evidence for the payment of the fee then you can approach the Bar Council of the state and lodge a complaint. Then the advocate will be summoned to submit his side of story and the matter will be decided.
