UMy father was a criminal lawyer who passed away in 2023 January. I keep his sim card on my phone and recharge it every month because I don’t want to lose anything related to him . Lot of messages comes up in his phone regarding the cases he handled.
For example:
> mcktr: Restor.Ptn/XXXXX/XXXX Person 1 Vs Person 2, >Listed on 18-02-2025, Court: Munsiff.CRTKER-HCK
What do I do about the same . I’m not from a legal background. I don’t know any of the work he does . He kept it away from us . Should I just let it be ?

UThat’s the cases that’s listed for the next working day. The cases must’ve been taken over by some other Advocate right? It’s sent to all advocates whose names are in the Vakalatnamka. You’re receiving it because your fathers name was on the Vakalathnama. It’ll be sent as long as the matter is ongoing in court.

UIf the matters were taken over by someone else, just let it be. If not, just inform the clients in that matter of your father’s passing.

UNot sure about the case status or whether it has been picked up by other advocates . But I keep getting these messages very frequently. They keep postponing dates . I’m not very aware of the legal proceedings but do they usually postpone the cases like this ? Its been close to two years and the messages are not stopping

UAh. If so, the associates names would be on the vakalathnama and they’ll take over or clients might’ve taken an NOC from them and engaged a different advocate.

WYour father passed 2 years ago.
Don’t you think his clients would have moved on by now?
Just ignore the messages since you can’t do anything (they’re from the court registry automated)

LHi. First and foremost im so sorry for your loss.
Those are cases which would be taken up before the court. Look up the case files in his office with that title/number and let the clients know of his demise. They would come and collect it and engage some other lawyer.
If that isn’t feasible visit the website of the court he was practicing in and feed in the details of the case (who’s messages you get) in the case status and then contact the opposite side lawyer (his name will show up in the case status). He can then inform the court on next hearing and can also help you with address of the party your father was representing . You can then contact those clients and let them know.
