Legal Question in Consumer Law in India

A complaint filed in Consumer redressal Dist. Forum was dismissed as my Advocate did not attend court on three consecutive final hearings. He also did not apprise his junior about the case. When defeciencies in his services were brought to his notice he filed an appeal before State Forum wherein he had prayed to set aside Dist Order as it was based on some wrong report & to pay the complainant the damages prayed in the original complainant based on fresh evidences. The State Forum set aside Dist. Order but remanded the case back to Dist Forum for fresh hearing based on fresh evidence. My Advocate is refusing to fight the case in Dist Forum. Is it O.K? Is he not leaving the case half way & thus again giving me defecient services?

Your advocate has failed to protect your interest and it is sheer negligence and against

the normal code of conduct and ethics of the profession of Advocate, and for his misconduct

you have suffered immense loss, if the advocate's plea is not reasonable, you the may

complain to the respective Bar, where the advocate usually practice and to the State

Bar council for sheer negligence and reaching harm to you,
