Your Counsel can advice you much better as he is conversant with all the facts of your case.

Re: civil law

Since it is a case pending in court, you will need to follow advice of your counsel. If your counsel is not cooperating with you and you are not satisfied with his handling of case, you should change your Advocate after obtaining NoC from him OR after seeking permission of the Court. Even if you do not get NoC, you may approach some other Advocate who may be willing to conduct your case. Since you are an educated person, you may also conduct your case 'in person' and withdraw your counsel from the case.

You should not level unsubstantiated allegations of bias and corruption against Judges.

Merely because the landlady is NRI would not mean that she can bribe anybody. The Chandigarh police is still considered one of the best in the country and is not ordinarily biased or tilted. If you have genuine grouse against police or judiciary, you are entitled to approach the next higher officer/authority.

The Judgement of Rent Controller is Apealable before the District Judge; and thereafter the parties will have a remedy of Revision before the High Court.
