Dear friends,
I had filed claims pitition in small causes court in 2006.
The written statements were filed by the defendants and issues were framed in dec 2007. Then defendants requested court to add additional respondants (joinders) and summons were served to those respodents as well. Then those respondents also filed the written statments in Aug 2008. After this the matter was for evidence.
I had to change the lawyer in between. The case was continued with a new lawyer after obtaining NOC from the previous lawyer. Finally, I came to know that the pitition was dismissed in July 09. The reason as per lawyer is "after providing enough opportunities, pititioner is not able to put forward suitable evidence." We don't know what evidence was provided by the previous lawyer. We have applied for the copies.
Is it possible to restart the same case after dismissal? Do I need to file a new pitition or I can reopen the dismissed pitition?
Please advice.
