Court has ordered that (defendant) has no say since I didnt appear for hearing Court has ordered that (defendant) has no say since I didnt appear for hearing

I'm defendant #1 There's a recovery case against me and a broker, the broker hasn't even filed a lawyer. He's defendant 2. I filed the vakalatnama and time extension at the first date. It's been two years and my lawyer said there's nothing to worry prior to the latest hearing. Since the defendant 2 hasn't filed his say, We are waiting for the defendant 2 for his say since I'm stuck unnecessarily in this case because of him. The latest case status shows that the court has ordered that defendant 1 has no say versus the claim. And I can't contact the lawyer immediately due his personal reasons. What should I do?

A.Dear Client,

It seems that the court has concluded the case against defendant no.1 in an ex-parte manner due to the lack of engagement, non-appearance, and failure to submit any written response over the past two years. The court, in its observation, has noted that the defendant has not contested the claim or presented any counterarguments. Given this situation, it is advisable to check the cause list of the relevant court to ascertain the next scheduled date of the case. Additionally, consider seeking advice from another legal professional who can provide guidance on the appropriate next steps in the matter.

A.Dear Client,
It appears that the Court has closed the case of defendant no.1 ex-parte for non-persuasion/non-appearance and non-filing of any written version for the last two years with the observation that the defendant has nothing to say against the claim. In the given scenario, find out the next date of the case from the cause list of the respective court where the case is pending and get in touch with another lawyer who may guide you with the next course of action in the matter.
