Can a case settled as 'Uncontested--Settled by ADR' reopened


11-May-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi, My wife filed 498A,406,323 against me and we reached a settlement and case was disposed in lok Adalat and was updated as 'Uncontested--Settled by ADR'. But now my lawyer is asking me for more money and threatening me that he will reopen the case if I do not pay him. What should I do? I already paid him whatever he had asked earlier. Now he is blackmailing me. Can the case be reopened again?
