Are you American?
If you have a valid reason to pause or official term 'Adjourn' the Judge will grant that, if you mean end it all together then you can simply file a withdrawal notice without giving reasons.
In the UK the Claimant can Adjourn and depending on the reason if a new date /time has to be set in a civil trial the Claimant risks costs. Again if you mean withdraw, you can do so but will risk costs if the Judge feels that the trial has been bought unnecessarily and the other side argue that your case is vexatious and fanciful.

If by "halt" you mean adjournment you certainly can, because absence of a council, for various reasons such as he being in some other court, etc. is a valid reason for which a "pass over" till the end of the session or an adjournment is given. But if you mean withdrawal of case, you dont need to assign any reasons. You may simply file a petition withdrawing the case.
Now my charges are $ 1000/- By card or Cash ?

I think what you meant is "May the plaintiff substitute counsel during a trial?" In a civil trial, yes as long as the court determines that it would not create a delay. It could happen if you and your counsel differ on strategy and tactics. It is rare on the criminal side, as it raises a red flag usually that the defendant was to testify, and perjure himself, and the lawyer wants no part of it.

I highly doubt it,.. the plantiff picked their lawyer prior to tril,.. the plantiff started the whole thing, with out a plantiff with a complaint their would be no trial. So the plaintiff should have qued in on the insufficient council prior to trial.

Halt the trial? The plaintiff can withdraw (quit).
But not just stop the trial if it's already underway.

Plaintiff can always take his/her case back before jury is given a chance to render verdict.

Only the judge can "halt" a trial.

If the plaintiff decides not to proceed, the case will most likely be dismissed 'with prejudice'. 'With prejudice' means you can't continue the case later.
