The Vakalat is valid till the end of the case. Once you give a Vakalat to an Advocate, it means that the Advocate can act of your behalf till the case gets over. In case you don't want to continue with that Advocate, you can ask the Advocate for change of Vakalat and you can engage an Advocate. Without getting change of Vakalat, you cannot change your Advocate. If you need any further advice or clarifications you can contact me.

A vakalatnama given to a lawyer is meant for his handling the case, including all incidental acts such as court appearance, filing of petitions, arguments, etc. As such, it has no limitation on any lawful act on the part of the advocate on behalf of his client.
