The Supreme Court on Wednesday launched its new system of automatic listing of fresh cases within three to seven days in a bid to do away with the system of mentioning of matters for urgent listing every day.
Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi had on January 23 said the Supreme Court was devising a mechanism to do away with the process of mentioning of pleas and to ensure automatic listing of fresh cases for hearing soon after being filed.
“Fresh matters verified on Friday in the post lunch session, Saturday, Monday and Tuesday in the pre-lunch session i.e. up to 1 p.m. shall be listed on Friday in the same week and those verified on Tuesday in the post lunch session, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in the pre-lunch session i.e. up to 1 p.m. be listed on Monday in the next week,” said a circular.
From February 4
The new mechanism will come into effect on February 4. The circular further said that final cause list of cases for Monday shall be published/uploaded on the website on prior Friday.
It said the list of business for Friday would be uploaded on Tuesday in the same week.
