UMy lawyer is suddenly asking for 1lakh after the case is won, without any prior discussion.
It took him 7 years to get me a most basic outcome and also had me make a bad decision which lost me a lot of money. I don’t feel like paying him at all.
I have already payed him 1lakh which was agreed upon while picking up the case, 7 years ago
I have already gotten my court order is their anything else that I will be needing from lawyer.
I really don’t want to pay him and have got no money right now too. -
SNo. In fact asking for fees depending on outcome of the case itself is illegal. If the agreement was 1 lakh lump sum payment and you’ve done that. That’s about it. You don’t need to give anything else.
If he pesters you just tell him you will file a complaint with the Bar Council.

SComplain to the Bar Council. This is not legal.
Under law an advocate can hold on to papers if dues are not cleared. But since you only had an arrangement of 1 lakh lump sum he cannot legally hold on to papers.
Please make a complaint.

UI will make a complaint if he is not cooperating and holding onto my papers any longer, please help me with little suggestions in future if needed.

QIf you don’t want to pay over your contract you don t have to as the case is now closed your advocate may be referring to not giving you your case file which you will require if the opposite party’ goes for appeal in the higher court (this case file you get from court clerks on your own if you need it)
-
Uwhat if he took files from the clerks before hand, should I just file a complaint asap or is that a step too forward?
-
QNo your file is the courts property he cannot take it you will also only get a photocopy of the file
