If you have a certified copy of that order and you have produced before court and court staff is unable to fetch the same is not your fault and court is competent to take that as secondary evidence if any contrary to that not proved by other party.

Do have any copy of that order or details. You need to find your goswara no and check in the record room. Of don’t get their then approach to the District judge by filling an application in his court. After all this you can still file a contempt case along with a application under 151 CPC for exemptions.
