• Dismissal of case

Hello sir,
1) A judge in Hyderabad has recently dismissed our case on the grounds that none of our lawyers were present at the court hearing. This case was pertinent to a property dispute between our family members. I was just wondering if in this situation I could register my house with my dad's will who is deceased. 
2) Furthermore, I was wondering if any of my family members could potentially reopen this case and what its status would be once the said case is reopened? 
3) Due to the unforeseen circumstances of my father's death, my mom is currently left as a widow. So I was wondering if my mother can write a will pertaining to properties on my father's name and if the said will would be viable?

Thank you and have a great day!

1. If you have filed the case the court would have dismissed the case for for default and not for the advocates not representing the case.

It is the duty of the litigant to attend the court on the dates or hearing or at least to be in touch with the advocates to confirm the progress.

You may go through the copy of the order and see it for yourself.

If you have filed the case then you cannot advantage of this situation.

If there is a will, then you can get it probated and then act on the will for further actions.

You can file a petition under order 9 rule 9 CPC seeking to restore the suit which was dismissed for default.

2. Yes, the plaintiff can file a petition to restore the case as suggested above.

3. Your mother is just another legal heir to your Father hence she cannot transfer the entire property by a will to you, she can transfer only her share in the property.

1) it is better you apply for probate of your father will

2) probate is judicial proof that will is genuine

3) family members can take out notice of motion fir setting aside order of dismissal

4) court would set aside order of dismissal in interests of justice on payment of costs

5) mother can execute will for her share in property

1) If a suit is dismissed for "default" on any reason, you have to file a petition under Order 9, Rule 9 CPC before the court, where the suit was dismissed. In case of non filing the said petition within the stipulated period, you can also file a delay condonation petition under Section 5 of Limitation Act.

2) If the property is in name of your deceased father's than get registered all legal heirs name on the property.Than you will be able to make a WILL from your mother.

3) If your father had made any WILL and if that is registered deed than it can be excuted.

1. If currently there's no Court order into operation, restraining you from doing so, you are free to register this house.

2. Yes, it can be opened. Once restored, it will proceed from the same stage where it was left, the matter having been dismissed.

3. Any such properties that have been inherited by her post demise of your father, can be bequeathed by her by means of a will.

Dear Client,

What is the actual dispute in court, who filed it ?

On the basis`s of WILL, property inherit in your u and so the title. Get it transfer.

How can advise the status of case, without knowing the nature of dispute, well if it reinstate, it will assume same stage/status and orders effective before dismissal.

WILL cannot be executed in dead person favor.
