Vakalatnama #Lexplained #KK1

Law says that an advocate on his filing a Vakalatnama duly executed by a party shall be entitled to act as well as to plead for the party in the matter and to conduct and prosecute all proceedings that may be taken in respect of such matter or any application connected with the same or any decree or order passed therein including proceedings in taxation and applications for review, execution and appeal in the High Court and to take all such other steps as he may be specifically authorised by the power of attorney. Fine. But what does it mean? What are the terms that are included in the Vakalatnama? What rights and liabilities does it confer upon the clients and the lawyer that client has engaged? This is an attempt to familiarize you with a basic concept of this very important but oft ignored document.  EDIT: In the episode I referred to Advocates Welfare Act whereas the correct name is the Advocates' Welfare Fund Act, 2001.
