Validity of Vakalath Attested by Different Advocates - The court recognizes that Vakalath can be attested by advocates other than the one who personally knows the executant, provided it is endorsed and accepted in accordance with applicable rules. For example, the Kerala High Court has held that advocates can attest Vakalath even if they do not know the executant personally, as long as proper endorsement is made (01500020236). Similarly, endorsements by advocates who accept the Vakalath are considered valid, even if the advocate is different from the one who initially filed it (IND_HC_KLHC010471742009).
-
Attestation by Different Advocates in Different Jurisdictions - The practice allows advocates in different jurisdictions or courts to attest Vakalath, especially when endorsed and accepted properly. The validity depends on adherence to procedural rules and proper endorsement, not necessarily on the advocate's personal acquaintance with the client (01500020236, 02100155235).
-
Authority and Limitations in Attestation - Advocates acting on behalf of clients, including attesting Vakalath, must operate within their authority. If an advocate's authority is withdrawn or invalid (e.g., due to withdrawal of Vakalath or forged signatures), the Vakalath's validity is challenged, and parties may engage other advocates of their choice (04300051019, 02100110869).
-
Practical Considerations and Disputes - Discrepancies in signatures or improper attestation can lead to disputes over Vakalath validity. Courts examine signatures, endorsements, and the advocate's authority to determine validity, emphasizing procedural correctness and proper endorsement (02100155235).
-
Conclusion - Vakalath attested by different advocates across jurisdictions can be valid if endorsed and accepted in accordance with applicable rules. The key factors are proper endorsement, advocate's authority, and procedural compliance, not necessarily the advocate's personal knowledge of the client. Challenges to validity typically arise from procedural irregularities or forged signatures.
