What are the procedures to represent myself in a court case?

No ambiguity, nor any doubt over conducting your own case before a court of law. However, my sincere advice would be, to take, some literal advice from, any of your Adv's friend from your area. Please do not adopt ' trial & error "method to taste your self ability in the case. You might be well conversant with the facts of the case, but unknown to procedure and court-craft to tackle. Atleast, for drafting & filling of the civil litigation plaint, you should take help of your friend. Keep in mind, in case of your future necessity, that friend, who, would have initially helped, can be put, to your rescue, in the court, by filling Vakalat, on your behalf at a later stage. Carry-on. Thanks.

You have to file the case in pre se, which means you will be representing yourself. However, there is the matter of discovery and you will have to learn how to proceed with that in order to get the information from the other side if you intend to win. Discovery closes thirty days before trial and if you do not handle it correctly and ask the proper questions you could lose no matter how much you know about your own case. It is not like Perry Mason.

You have the right to represent yourself, but remember that pro se representation is no grounds for an appeal in case you lose. It also depends on the case and the judge. A judge can actually deny you to represent yourself, if he feels that the issue is too complex.

Have your lawyer put you on the witness stand... thats usually a lot more effective.

Some litigents fought their own cases and won even in the Supreme Court. It may be better for you to gain a little exprience by helping some people in their court cases before fighting your own case. The judge may allow you to argue these cases if he wishes. Also you may like to get advice from a lawyer before you argue in court. This is much cheaper than a lawyer fighting your case.

All you have to do is be a fool. Noone has ever won representing themself.
