Hi,
I received a notice from sub registrar office in one of the matters. I hired one of the lawyers to look into the matter and take necessary steps as applicable. I explained the case to the lawyer. Lawyers didn't took any action even after reminding him/calling him/texting him about the same. Whenever I used to contact him he just inform me that he will take necessary steps.
Today, I received another notice which is the result of the subject matter and mentioned that it is a one sided decision since neither advocate nor we attended the hearing.
Please advice me what action should I take in this regard?

May it be possible that other experts may mind my suggestion against the lawyer, but if the client suffers mental agony and financial loss, he should not be spared for his unethical attitude towards his client.
So, my suggest is, issue notice to your lawyer asking him to appear before the sub-registrar on time on due date and also make clear in the notice that he would be solely responsible and liable to bear with the loss, if any happens due to his inaction, lethargy or non-appearance in the case on due date. If he still does not appear before the SR, you must appear on due date and present your case to the best of your ability.
After that you may take up the case with the State Bar Council for the professional misconduct on the part of the lawyer.

I agree with the expert advise of Dhingra ji.
Incomplete information, state full particulars of your case.
Besides this, what have you been doing?
Why did you not appear before the SR on the date?
First concentrate on your case, change your lawyer and proceed in the case.
Thereafter collect evidences against your previous lawyer, talk to him/her for non-appearance, issue a notice if found lacking and move to Bar Council (State) and/or Consumer forum, if you can prove his/her negligence/deficiency in service.

Change your lawyer immediately and seriously follow the case.
Lodge complaint with the Bar Council against your previous lawyer if you have adequate proofs of entrusting him the case.

My suggestion is to change the lawyer and instruct the new lawyer the full details and further actions to be taken accordingly and accompany him to the registrar's office to ensure the things are going on as per the provisions envisaged in law to tackle your subject issue.

First change the lawyer for defending your case. You think of about action or inaction of the previous advocate.
