During this time my advocate expired due to covid and hence i need to know if the petitioners have filed any restoration/revival petition and also need to know if they have restored the case. I am searching under http s://districts.ecourts.gov.in/ website to see if any application was filed, but not sure how to do the search and under which category of case type , following are the question i need help 1. how to search under https://districts.ecourts.gov.in/ for filing number/reg no to see if any restore application filed to restore a civil case dismissed for default 2. max time frame to restore civil case dismissed for default 3. civil case dismissed for default revival/restore options.

Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
An application filed for restoration of suit will not be uploaded online. Status of case will be uploaded only if the case is restore. Case file against you will not be restored without notice to you.
Status of suit for default will not be uploaded online. Suit will be uploaded only if it is restore. Suit will not be restored without notice to you.
1. You will not get the detail of the IA filed for restoration of the main suit because once the suit is dismissed then the case will not appear in the ecourts with regard to the further transactions till, the suit is restored.You may have to pursue the matter through a different advocate if your advocate is not living anymore.
Once the courts resume for normal herings, you can engage the services of an advocate and pursue the matter and clarify all the details.
2. The restoration petition can be filed within one month from the date of dismissal for default or else they may have to dd another application under section 5 of the limitation act to condone the delay in filing the restoration petition beyond 30 days period, with reasons thereto.
3. The plaintiff has to file a petition under Order 9 Rule 9 for restoration or set aside the dismissal order within 30 days from the date of dismissal.
You have to search under civil case number year of filing , name of parties
2) when you enter the details you would get the details of case , when it was dismissed , if any interim application filed or not
3) plaintiff has to take out notice of motion for setting aside order of dismissal together with affidavit in support
4) If the suit is dismissed under Rule 3 order 9 on account of non-appearance of the parties, it would be open to the court to set aside the order by which the suit was dismissed and to restore the suit to its original file.
Give vakkalath to other advocate and may have to pursue the present status of the case. The restoration petition can be filed within one month from the date of dismissal for default, a condonation petition also accepted for delay after one month. Normally you will get notice of IA . Now the IA is not reflected web site and app.
Dear Sir/Madam,
1. Regarding your first question, please look into the following tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lll5NIoCfmA&list=PLEPhpCrSmo94X7WCQt1KMKK8UNYSAEbO8
2. As per Article 122 of the Limitation Act, the time frame is 30 days.
3. Restoration can be allowed when the other side has not filed any counter.
The applicant is not required to explain each day’s delay individually rather if reading the explanation given by him as a whole makes out sufficient cause which prevented him from attending the hearing of a case when the suit was dismissed in default the Court adopting a pragmatic approach and not a narrow view should allow the parties to get their dispute decided on merit and not shut out a party by adopting a hypertechnical approach.
Thank you
You need to search the same through case no, lawyers name Or party name.
In pandemic it may take time. Generally it may take 6 months with date
You can file the application for restoration in the same court
1. You can check it from Ecourts portal or engage another lawyer.
2. If a restoration application is filed then you would get the notice from court.
3. The dismissal of suit for default is remediable through a revision petition before the High Court.
