Probate petition for will - for rejection under rule 435

Upon checking the case status of a probate petition for Will that was filed 8 years back on the Bombay HC website, the stage of case says "FOR REJECTIONÂ UNDERÂ RULEÂ 435".
Does this mean the case has been dismissed and if yes, what is needed to re-instate the petition? Does the whole process for filing the petition needs to be re-started from scratch again?
Any guidance on the process to re-instate will be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

All testamentary petitions, in which grants or certificates have not be issued owing to non-prosecution of the petitions for one year after the petitions have been filed, shall be treated as disposed of and no action shall be taken on such petitions, unless an order is obtained from the Judge in Chambers.
You may contact your advocate and pursue the matter in furtherance.
