Hearings
A hearing on a case shows the date, the court, the hall, the item number, the last order, and who is going. Cause list entries from the courts we have wired are matched onto your firm's cases automatically, so the morning board is built before anyone sits down at a desk.
What it is
The day's board, matched to your own cases, with enough detail to leave for court on.
What it is not
It is not a feed of every listing in India, and it is not a guarantee that a court published correctly. Where a source is quiet, we say so.
How the board gets built
Courts publish the next day's cause list the evening before. Each source is read the way that court actually publishes it, then each listing is matched against the cases your firm is already on. What you see in the morning is your firm's cases, not the whole court.
What a hearing carries
- Date, court, and bench or hall.
- Item number: where you are on the day's board.
- The stage, as the court recorded it.
- The last order, so you are not reading it for the first time in court.
- Who from your firm is appearing.
When a source goes quiet
An empty board is only good news if the court actually published nothing. If a source stops answering, your firm is told that the source failed, rather than being shown an empty day and left to assume there was nothing listed.
Questions
- How early is tomorrow's board ready?
- As soon as the court publishes it, which is usually the evening before. Anything published later appears when it appears.
- Our court is not covered. What then?
- You enter the hearing by hand and it behaves like any other hearing on the case. We will also tell you plainly that the court is not wired rather than implying it is.
- Does Tulip read the order for us?
- It keeps the order on the case and can answer questions about it with the page it read. A person still reads the order.
