I am writing on behalf of a male friend whose going through his divorce case and resides in UP. As there is no provision of anticipatory bail, he applied for stay order for which he gave 25k each for 4 family members in April 2014. Now the lawyer says that due to recent SC judgement passed on 3rd July, stay order petition is not granted.
Can you please advise if 25k for 4 family members given to lawyer actually refundable or not? Coz in this case the lawyer is not ready to give it back even though the petition was filed in April and SC judgement came on 3rd July. How much is the court fee for stay order or AB?

1. The lawyer is not at fault. The s.C. judgement came later after he had files such application seeking stay order. The money is think will not be returned by the lawyer.

Fee is professional charges and not refundable.

Professional charges generally are not taken conditional so the question of refund do not arise.
