2. Contents

- Court name and case type.
- Authorization to appear, file documents, receive notices, etc.
- Signatures, date, and advocate’s enrollment number.

3. Affixing Stamp
A requisite court fee stamp (usually ₹10 or ₹5) is affixed as per local court rules.

4. Filing in Court

5. Verification
Court staff verifies signatures and stamping.
Once accepted, the advocate officially represents the client.

A vakalatnama, which authorizes a lawyer to represent a client in legal proceedings, is filed by submitting a written document, signed by the client or their authorized representative, to the court. It's typically filed along with the initial pleadings or other relevant documents. The lawyer then endorses the vakalatnama, accepting the representation.
