Judgement not being delivered

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 29 July 2019 This query is : Resolved
Sir I am defendant in what appears now untenable declaration suit.
Plaintiffs a firm of two and only a surviving partner after filing witness / evidence statement on behalf of firm and cross examination has filed contempt application against me contradicting his/their averment in witness statement filed on oath.
One issue framed for the plaintiffs is does plaintiff 2 prove that he is partner of the firm and did defendant 2 signed the agreement. Where as both plaintiffs 2 and defendant 2 were no more as on date issues were framed. Legal heir not named.
Wonder why plaintiffs lawyer and defense lawyer brought this fact to notice of court.
My alleged contempt action dates back to before issues were framed.
All the issues framed by court obviously stand disproved by the plaintiffs as per evidence / witness statement filed on oath.
Court if wants can deliver judgement without defense. Two necessary parties who signed disputed contract no more.
My first lawyer double crossed and resigned as plaintiffs evidence ended.
I hired other lawyer with lot of difficulty at exorbitant fees due to desperation at 11 th hour as court gave hearing stage.
My new lawyer has not filed any reply and says I should keep mum.
26 hearings have passed since.
Court is neither giving defense stage.
Nor initiating contempt proceedings against me.
None of the lawyers are attending hearing.
I personally attended one hearing and judge said bring your lawyer.
Lawyer is big name and difficult to to be candid with him.
I am 65 and away from place of suit.
At one stage I contacted surviving plaintiff and he was unreasonable and as such there is no need for me to compromise.
Your views and advice.
