Dear Client,
If a case is disposed of means that the case has been decided by the court based on merits or a judgment or order passed. In law, the case status "case disposed" means that the case has been resolved or settled in some way and is no longer active. Specific reasons for a case being closed can include dismissal, conviction, and admission of guilt, among other reasons. Once a case is officially over, it is removed from the court's docket. A disposed case can be reopened or restored for many reasons, including new evidence. If new and significant evidence becomes visible on the face of the record that was not accessible during the first proceedings, reopening a case might be conceivable provided an application for restoration could be filed under Order 9 of CPC and the limitation period for restoration is 30 days from the date of dismissal as per Article 122 of Limitation Act. The Court then examines the matter on merits, to ascertain the claims before admitting the restoration application. However, on motion, if the application for reopening or restoration of a disposed of case is not allowed by the single bench of the High Court, an appeal(LPA) may be filed before the Division Bench of the High Court seeking an appropriate order in the matter.
