From now onwards No Listing Of ‘After Notice Miscellaneous Matters’ On Wednesday And Thursday in the Supreme Court. The court will hear only regular matters, apart from ten each transfer petitions and bail applications will only be heard on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
The court stopped the practice of listing “after notice miscellaneous matters” on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The courts will only be accommodating only miscellaneous days (Mondays and Fridays) which is subject to the availability of slot.
However, the court notified for the information of the Members of the Bar, Party-in-Person and all concerned that the Competent Authority has been pleased for directing that henceforth Wednesday and Thursday of the week shall be regular hearing days and no “after notice miscellaneous matter” shall be listed Wednesday and Thursday. The court stated that up to 10 transfer petitions and 10 bail matters shall be listed along with regular hearing matters on these days. Thus, the miscellaneous after notice matters noted for these days shall be accommodated on the miscellaneous days to be followed which being subject to availability of slot.
Further, in the Supreme Court for uninitiated, miscellaneous days are meant for admission hearings, wherein the counsel is allowed to make preliminary submissions to convince the court to admit their petition. Thus, in a week, the other days are meant for final hearing matters and are called non-miscellaneous days, or ‘NMD’ in Supreme Court lawyers’ parlance. Therefore, after completion of notice, certain miscellaneous matters, used to get listed on NMDs.
