Memo of appearance
Memo of appearance legal meaning, translation and judicial precedents.
Meaning & Judicial Interpretation: (اردو مفہوم اور قانونی تشریح)
Memo of appearance was an undertaking to file proper power-of-attorney where for some reasons a duly signed power-of-attorney was not immediately procured
Such memo would only enable counsel to plead on behalf of a party for a particular hearing and he was yet to be authorized by the party to conduct all the proceedings
Order III, R. 4, C.P.C. expressly prohibited a counsel from appearance in the court without filing Wakalatnama duly signed by the party
Said Wakalatnama was deemed to be in force until all proceedings in the suit were ended or till such time the power-of-attorney was withdrawn or revoked
If counsel who filed memo of appearance failed to submit a proper power-of-attorney on the next date fixed, then court should issue fresh notice to the party concerned.
