Tips for Legal Practice

1.Ensure timely filing of all necessary documents, such as the statement of case, within the statutory period to avoid procedural delays.
2.Verify proper appearance and representation for all served parties to prevent ex-parte proceedings or adverse orders.
3.Be prepared for cases to be processed for listing before the Hon'ble Court if procedural requirements set by the Registrar are not met.
