Registry Has No Authority To Delete A Case From Cause List Unless Specifically Ordered By Concerned Bench Or Chief Justice: Supreme Court
Live LawThe Supreme Court on Monday held that the Registry has no authority to delete a case from the cause list once it has been listed, unless there is a specific order from the concerned bench or the Chief Justice of India. Once the case is notified on the cause list, unless there is a specific order to that effect, either of the bench concerned or Hon'ble the Chief Justice, Registry has no authority to delete a case which is already listed”, the Court held. A bench of Justice Abhay S. Oka and Justice Ujjal Bhuyan held this after it noted that the Registry had deleted a case on the ground that the notice of alternate arrangement was not served on the litigant whose Advocate-on-Record had been designated as a Senior Advocate. After the files were circulated and read, the Registry deleted the case from the cause list on the “specious” ground that the notice of alternate arrangement issued to the sole respondent was not received back, the Court said.
