Dear
Yes you can reopen the case, subject to lot of terms and condition.

what stops you from reopening is a doctrine known as doctrine of preclusion which put a bar to litigate for the same subject matter between the same parties.

but, what allows you to reopen in Order 9 rule 9 of civil procedure code, which states that

".....But he may apply for an Order to set the dismissal aside, and if he satisfies the court that there was sufficient cause for his non appearance when the suit was called on for hearing, the court shall make an Order setting aside c the dismissal upon such terms as to costs or otherwise as it thinks fit, and shall appoint a day for proceeding with the suit....."

Basically you need a good lawyer who can put a solid case for the court to satisfy that there is a valid reason for reopening the case.

see for the case law AIR 1962 MP 64
