Legal Question in Legal Ethics in India
I am facing criminal cases under IPC 498A. I hired a counsel. Some times during the hearing dates or arguments, judge asks some questions for which my counsel might not have answers ready. In such scenarios being accused can I interfere in the open court and talk to the judge or PP directly? Similarly I am facing a case under Domestic Violence Act also where I am called a respondent. Here also can I interfere during adjournments. Please let me know. Thank you.

You can call and inform your counsel.

you can ask your counsel to put the questions to court and PP and in case your counsel does not do that, you may, yourself question the court and PP provided your queries are not illogical.
