Hi, My father had filed a civil lawsuit against a person who cheated him of 85L rupees 8 years ago. When I ask him about the progress of the case, he said that the 1st hearing of the case itself is not done. Is it possible to not have a 1st hearing of the case even after 8 years. He says that every time the judge just looks at the case files and gives another date. I feel he is being played by his lawyer.
I want to know is it possible for a civil case to not even have its 1st hearing even after 8 years.
