He said that 3 months ago application rejected as we seeked less amount than in the notice .and after that lawyer said that we submitted re-application but still he not able to provide case number . Do not know what is going on. Thank you.
If your court application is rejected after paying court fees, you may be entitled to a refund. The content suggests that if the court fee was paid, it can often be adjusted or refunded when the application is re-submitted. However, fees paid directly to a lawyer are considered their professional charges and are not refundable court fees.

You can ask your lawyer to return the case papers and engage the services of a different advocate to proceed properly. The court fee already paid can be adjusted if the returned papers are represented.

the amount paid to the advocate is not court fee, but his professional fee.
