Filed a partition suit in a revenue court in Uttar Pradesh, the lawyer is not taking it seriously. Every month the date is pushed, the case was filed in Aug-2024.

The lawyer is also a bar member.

How to deal with this situation?

Have heard of process to change lawyers, but we need NOC from the previous one in that case. And he is not bound to cooperate to give NOC I am sure.

Also, he has 2 signed blank papers.

if any lawyer on the subReddit can please help me out here to deal with this situation.

First try to get an NOC, call and message him, and if he doesn’t co-operate then You can file an affidavit stating therein that you approached your lawyer for NOC but he has not given it to you, therefore new vakalatnama is being filed without NOC

Yes this is a legal method. DO NOT change advocates without first trying to get NOC.
After you change advocates blank signed papers in his possession become useless as he cannot file them. Also not much can be done with only 2 signed pages

for money or grudge
