I have applied for Probate of my father's WILL long time back. The hearing is getting delayed a lot. My opposition party has till now not filed their say. My lawyer is giving a reason that the case papers were lost/not found in record room when they had gone there for certification by the clerk and the same is under investigation by the court. If the case papers are genuinely lost can we file another set of case papers before the court?
Is there any foul play as far as the case papers getting lost is concerned (i.e. can the case papers be deliberately removed from the court by the opposition party by bribing the clerk with the intention to delay the entire legal process of getting Probate?). What else can we do if the case papers are genuinely lost to continue the whole process of getting Probate?
