Can lawyers who are not Senior Advocates argue case without vakalat? Kerala High Court to examine

The Kerala High Court ruled that lawyers who are not designated Senior Advocates can argue cases without a vakalatnama, overturning an earlier decision. The Court emphasized that all advocates, regardless of seniority, have the right to represent clients in court. The ruling clarifies that vakalatnama is merely a formality and not a legal requirement for representation. This decision is significant as it upholds the rights of all advocates to practice law independently without additional bureaucratic hurdles.
