At present both cases are at the final stage. You must appear before the court on 19-03-2026. If you no longer want to continue the dispute, the practical options are: (1) try to settle the matter with your wife and proceed for divorce by mutual consent, or (2) withdraw the divorce petition, if it has been filed by you. If you simply stop appearing in court, the court may close your opportunity and decide the case based on the existing record, which may weaken your legal position.

You need to go and represent yourself. You need to put forth your point if you fail to do that then you won't be able to apprise the court about your case. Hence your presence is of utmost importance there in Court.

You may withdraw your Vakalatnama from your current counsel or instruct him to state before court that you don't wish to continue anymore in the matter, that you wish to withdraw it. alternatively, if your advocate is not responsive or helpful, you may yourself mention this in court that you as Petitioner wish to withdraw your case and don't wish to pursue it before court anymore. Best Wishes to you.

What are the reasons for your lawyer not wanting to continue? Now you have to engage a new lawyer. Your query is very confusing. But it Seems that your case is at the final stage of final argument.
