1.Advocates should prioritize timely filing of vakalatnama and counter affidavits after service is completed, adhering strictly to court-granted deadlines to ensure smooth case progression.
2.Registrar Court hearings are essential for managing case flow and ensuring procedural compliance, requiring careful attention to formal requirements such as notice and party representation.
3.Legal professionals must diligently track the service status for all opposing parties to identify and resolve any procedural hurdles promptly.
