Your matter pertains to civil proceeding and under no circumstances it is possible that matter will not come for hearing for a period of 1 year.

We suggest that you should inspect the file yourself and ascertain the last date of hearing and next date of hearing.

Further, if the matter is not coming on board , then you should ask the lawyer why will the court impose penalty on you. 

Accordingly based on your findings we will be able to advise you further
