No Order Be Passed Without Examining Lawfulness Of 'Minutes Of Order' Filed By Advocates : Supreme Court To Bombay High Court

Live Law  

The Supreme Court, in a recent judgment, commented about the peculiar practice of advocates filing "Minutes of Order" in the Bombay High Court. A bench comprising Justices Abhay S Oka and Ujjal Bhuyan made the following observations regarding this practice : a) The practice of filing “Minutes of Order” prevails in the Bombay High Court. The object is to assist the Court; b) An order passed in terms of the “Minutes of Order” tendered on record by the advocates representing the parties to the proceedings is not a consent order. In this case, the Bombay High Court permitted the construction of a compound wall under police protection, relying on "Minutes of Order" presented by advocates.
