My mother filed a suit against his brother, of him refusing to share property of my late grandmother. The case was closed in my mothers favor on dec 2023. Still we have not received the judgement order copy. It's not available online as well. Online update is only upto 2018. We been following our lawyer for months. During Jan-feb he said he will sent us the copy. In march month he said he already sent us the copy which we did not receive. Mid of march he said he will submit the request once again in court. 2 days back he says court misplaced the case files. My mother is a cancer patient we have already spent a lot, gold loan etc... we want the order to sell us our apartment immediately. I am not sure how to proceed with this. Kindly help. I stay in Chennai, but filed case in Thanjavur.

- As per law, either the lawyer or the party of the case can apply for getting the certified copy of the order/judgement from the Court.
- It is looking that the said lawyer is not co-operating with you , and hence your mother being the party in the case can apply for getting the same.
- Further, if your mother is unable to approach the court, then you can take an Authority letter from your mother for applying and getting the certified copy of the said judgement on her behalf.
- Further, if the said case already disposed/decreed then the approval from the said judge who has passed this judgement is not needed.
Either you change the lawyer and file a copy applicator through another lawyer or you can file a copy application directly before the said court as party in person and obtain the copy of the judgment directly
You may apply for a certified copy of the decree and judgment directly to the registrar of the court concerned, which will be made available to you on payment of the prescribed fee.
Dear Client,
If you feel that your lawyer is not adequately addressing your concerns or if you're dissatisfied with their response, you may need to consider taking legal action against them for negligence or misconduct. Since your lawyer mentioned that the court misplaced the case files, it might be beneficial to contact the court directly to inquire about the status of your case and the availability of the judgment order copy. They may be able to provide assistance or guidance on how to proceed. If necessary, seek advice from another legal expert to explore all available options for obtaining the judgment order copy and resolving the matter as quickly as possible.
You can get the said order copy online but for certified copy it needs to be applied in court
