Gujarat HC Introduces User Guide for Expedited Case Listing Requests

The Gujarat High Court has introduced a comprehensive User Guide to facilitate the online submission of requests for the expedited listing of cases.

This streamlined process aims to improve efficiency and accessibility for legal practitioners.

To initiate a request for early listing, individuals should visit the official Gujarat High Court website at https://gujarathighcourt.nic.in/. Alternatively, they can directly access the relevant link at http://gujarathc-casestatus.nic.in/gujarathc/. On the High Court website, they should click on the ‘Case Status/Judgments/Orders’ link, located on the right-hand side of the page.

Once on the designated page, users should click on the ‘Early Listing Request’ icon. It’s important to note that early listing requests will be accepted exclusively between 8.00 am and 10.00 am on court working days.

Next, learned advocates are required to enter their Advocate Code into the provided input box. After entering the code, a One-Time Password (OTP) will be sent via SMS to the registered mobile number. This additional layer of security ensures the authenticity of the request.

The next step involves entering the registered Case Number on the screen. Importantly, Interlocutory Applications (I.A.s) can also be selected through this entry box. Only matters associated with the relevant Advocate Code will be considered for early listing requests.

After successfully entering the OTP received via SMS and providing the relevant case details, including the CAPTCHA (String Verification) displayed on the screen, users should click the ‘SUBMIT’ button to finalize their request.

Furthermore, SMS and email notifications will be sent to the learned advocates representing both sides in the case, informing them of the received early listing request.

The online platform for early listing requests will promptly confirm the submission with a dialogue box displayed on the screen. This notification will occur on the same court working day.

Upon acknowledging the urgency of the matter, the High Court may schedule it for listing on a specific day. In cases where no early or urgent date is allocated, the matter will be listed on the next scheduled listing date, as updated in the case.
