My friend had a maintenance case going on in Court. He had all the documents. Now, the case was filed by his wife for maintenance. Now, last year because of COVID, the Court hearings were going online. So, his wife and her lawyer bribed his lawyer,, and in result of which his lawyer did not inform him of any hearing date. Whenever he asked his lawyer when is the hearing and is he required to come, the lawyer would say that he is not required and for now your hearing is postponed. My friend in the pretext kept waiting and later on the Court passed the order without his presence.
What can my friend do now, does he have any legal remedy?
