Appealing a judgement of paying half labour dues and claiming full pay

I've filed a case against my ex-employer (Bahrain) for my indemnity and EOS. The lower court gave a verdict in my favour and around 40% of the total money which I claimed.

Then the case was transferred to the high court and was again in my favour with the same amount. It means the employer has to pay me around 40% only of the total amount.

This verdict came 3 months before and my lawyer keeps saying that till now he didn't get a full judgment so he doesn't know the actual amount.

And now, he is saying the amount is the same which the judge wrote in the verdict i.e. 40% of the amount. I have all proofs where my employer said that they have to pay me the full amount.

Now please guide me on what I should do. My lawyer is saying that we can't do anything, this is the final decision. This means, I won the case but actually I lose.

Can I challenge this decision?

If the appeal period had passed, you cannot challenge the verdict unless in special circumstances (like new evidence came to surface).

However, the decision is under the judge's discretion.
