Hyderabad, Aug 15: The AP High Court Chief Justice, Mr Anil R. Dave, has assured advocates that copies of judgments would be made available within two hours of their pronouncement. This will be part of the Chief Justice’s attempt to straighten out things in the High Court registry office against which advocates had raised many complaints in recent times.
In an informal discussion with advocates on the eve of Independence Day celebrations, Justice Dave said the new facility will come into effect from the first week of September. A reform committee comprising senior judges would be set up to bring better co-ordination between the lawyers and the administration staff, the Chief Justice said. The committee will periodically review the administration process and make suggestions that will be implemented.
The Chief Justice also announced that he would like to constitute a grievance committee to sort out the problems that are being faced by the advocates with the registry as well as the administration. The committee will have representatives from the Bar Council and Bar Association besides judges. Advocates had complained about the non-availability of judgments and daily case listings.
The AP Bar Council members had met the Chief Justice over the issue of the non-availability and daily case listings, and express their grievances in this concern. The Chief Justice also urged advocates to be precise in their petitions and to give a brief synopsis of contentions and facts of case on the first page itself.
This would help the judges to understand the case quickly and facilitate speedy disposal, the Chief Justice added. Justice Dave also advised advocates not to file too many miscellaneous petitions along with the original petition to get interim orders. A brief synopsis of pleadings also be given in the beginning page of the petition itself, he said.
“We introduced this system in Gujarat High Court and it has yielded good results,” the Chief Justice said. “Lawyers of Gujarat bar are happy about it. It will also help in saving time and stationery,” he said.
