You just need to sign the vakalatnama that will give your counsel the authority to act on your behalf. And as far as the physical presence is needed that will also be handled as the court here also works through VC. For more legal assistance I am just a call away.

You should resubmit the missing Aadhaar and photo as advised by DLSA-West, since without completing formalities your application will not proceed. Strong evidence helps at trial, but procedure must be followed first. Free legal aid lawyers are competent and appointed by the Legal Services Authority. If you are abroad, you can execute and attest a Vakalatnama at the Indian Embassy/Consulate and send it to the lawyer in India. They can guide you on whether a scanned copy will suffice initially, with the original to follow. No need to travel to India only for this step.

if you wish, I can help you draft a proper email/application to DLSA to ensure they process your request without insisting . you may request the concerned DLSA officer to permit virtual appearance through video-conferencing, which is routinely allowed in many legal aid matters, especially when the applicant is outside India. on physical presence.
