PAAS convener Hardik Patel has decided to change his lawyer BM Mangukiya and hired two advocates, Rafique lokhandwala and Zubin Bharada.
Now onwards lokhandwala-Bharada duo will fight all the pending cases including that of sedition charges for the 22-year-old pro-quota leader.
From the beginning of pro-quota agitation Congress leader Mangukia was fighting legal battle for the PAAS leader.
On Wednesday first time new lawyers would represent Hardik in a bail plea case in the Gujarat High Court. Sources close to Hardik’s family said that his father Bharat Patel was unhappy with Mangukia’s performance as he couldn’t bring his son out of the jail over past two months.
