In my father’s firm- there was a client. He has to give us 22 lakh dues. In 2022, my father and that client had an argument on repayment as he had held up payment for 1+ year. Then every few days my father would go to his office for getting payment but he would make some story and not pay. Promises, delays continued for 3 years and then in 2025 he blocked my father and we couldn’t call and all. We went to his place but he shifted his home also.

We filed a case. Notice was served and the case went on for 6 months. Today we got to know that the case is disposed bcoz it is time barred.

Our lawyer says he will go to high court. What are the chances that we will get back our money after this?

Also, I fail to understand how lawyers frame that in their reply they attached fake ledger saying they paid 22 lakh in cash to us in multiple transactions of 10,000 over 3-4 years. Absolutely false!

I ChatGPTed this, and it tells me that when a case is time barred, the validity of claim holds but the enforcement is gone. So, in such a case how do we get the money back? Or what is the legal way to go about it.

Should we now spend money on high court appeal?
