I filed a case in 2004 against a party under section 138 negotiable instrument act as his cheque got bounced. The party did not turn up even after non-bailable warrants were issued aginst him. I attended the court on each and every date of hearing , but after 2010 I stopped attending the hearings as I found no progress in the case. Even my lawyer has stopped attending the court and he is also not taking my calls. I have not received any payment from the party.
If I / my lawyer do not attend the court, what will be the position of our case? Whether I will be punished for non-attending the court ? What should I do now, please guide me.
