Tips for Legal Practice

1.Always ensure timely filing of statements of case and other mandatory documents to avoid procedural delays.
2.Track service status and ensure appearance for all respondents, especially if notices are complete.
3.Be aware that procedural defaults at the Registrar level can lead to matters being listed before the Hon'ble Court for further directions, potentially impacting case timelines.
