My case, filed back in 2014, was dismissed because my lawyer didn’t show up for the hearing. The court said I might have lost interest or the issue is no longer relevant. Can this case be revived by the same judges, or can any other High Court judge do it? What can I do about my lawyer’s negligence?

Under Indian law, you can file a restoration application to revive the dismissed case. This can be heard by the same judges or any other judge of the same High Court. You can also file a complaint against your lawyer for negligence, seeking compensation for the loss caused.

My legal battle under sections 420, 468, and 381 of the IPC has been ongoing since 2010.

Despite my confidence in an acquittal, this ongoing case weighs heavily on my mind, especially as I recently appeared for the Lower Grade Clerk exam with a strong chance of selection.

We got married in 2013 but lived with her family. In early 2016, we decided to live together. Unfortunately, a week later, her father filed a police complaint against me, accusing me of kidnapping. I was arrested. My wife then testified that she had chosen to live with me and loved me. The case was dismissed, but her family took her away. I filed a legal case to bring her back, and she confirmed our marriage was voluntary. The court ordered her to live with me, but she said she wanted to stay with her parents. The court ultimately ruled that she was an adult and could live where she wished. How can I prevent her family from forcing her into another marriage within the next few years? I just want to stay connected to her.
