Yes you can. No need to place on record a vakaltnama. Simply file the appearance form.

You may fight ur own case but there are certain legal process/techniques which you would not be knowing and only an advocate can represent the case in a better manner because the court would not assist you. Still if u do it, u will be at risk of loosing your case and may repent later on.
