Legal Question in Legal Ethics in India

Re - My Advocate cheats me

I have a great grandfathers property that is not yet divided amongst my family. Do I really need to pay 6 lakhs to the court as mound amount for the 1 crore rupee worth property to ask for settling our legal proportion in the property? And also to obtain a stay order over the property under dispute, do we need to pay 1.5 lakhs for the processing of stay order?

Will the court give us some proof like receipts or some proof saying that so and so amount has been paid towards such a case for so and so proceedings? Wont they give anything like reference number or receipt for our payments?

My advocate says that the court doesnt give any such proofs for the amount paid. is he cheating me?

I also filed a compensation case against my grandfather because he blemished my reputation. I have proof for his false acts and do I need to pay 1.5 lakhs as another mound amount if I need to file a case against him claiming 20 lakhs as compensation for his causing of mental torture to me?

Re: Re - My Advocate cheats me

You need only about 2% of the amount claimed in A.P. and most other states it is more or less the same.
