Hi, case disposed means the matter has closed and it shows the above case is contested by the parties. my personal opinion is that don't relay upon it you can apply for certified coy of the order there you can get the actual facts of your case.

In the C.M.P file by wife the opponent has appeared and contested the petition and petition is allowed by the High Court. That is what it means.

- If she has filed a civil petition against you , then after receiving the summons of the court if you will not appear then the court is bond to pass ex-parte order in her behalf. 

- Further if the decree already passed in your absence and the notice not received by you , then you can move an application before the said court for set aside that passed decree legally. 

- Since you could not put your appearance before the court then after admitting the summons as served given opportunity her to contest the case , and to pass decree. 

- However, you can get the certified copy of the said order/decree from the court.

Case is disposed of means that as on date no proceedings are pending 

 

Check the HC website for orders passed in said petition till date

If the notice were not served on you then it will not be a contested disposal,  it would have been an exparte disposal. 

Hence confirm the details of the case as well as the orders through your advocate and then decide further course of action whether to file a petition seeking restoration of the civil miscellaneous petition  or not.

Dear Querist

It means the court decides the matter on merit.

It will be better for you to engage an advocate and check the status physically before the court.

One needs to see the disposal order to find out whether or not the court has disposed off the matter on merits.

Share the same so that we may give you better insight to your query.

If they Court has decided the matter in our absence on its merit, it will be very easy to successfully stake a challenge against this order in the Higher Court.

Dear Sir,

The term "Case Disposed of" indicates that the matter is completed in the terminology of court proceedings.

The literal meaning of "Contested-Ordered" implies some judgment that is passed after contesting the case by the parties.

Thank you.
