As per the infromation you have given it is advisable to you to appear in the court as and when required and for better clarity reach out to an advocate.
Reach out to an experienced Advocate of Hight Court in case it affordable and convenient for you for filing a petition for review of the said order along with a prayer for condonation of delay. There are a plethora of cases, a petition for review of lower Court order made in a belated stage was admitted assessing the merit in the appeal that overweighs the delay in filing of the petition.
You may ask any other advocate and get copy of judgment and prefer appeal before High Court within limitation. If limitation is over an application under section 5 of Limitation Act may be filed to condone the delay. Nothing to worry.
