File application for inspection and inspect the court file. It takes time in updation of orders in court websites. As such there is no delay. There is no reason to be panic.
No "Next Hearing Date" Updated
Hello, I recently had a court date for my RSA case in the Indian High Court, and during the hearing, the Judge mentioned that she would like to prioritize this case and set a short date for the next hearing to dispose of it. However, it has been 24 hours, and the next hearing date or any court orders haven't been updated yet. In the past, updates were usually posted by the same evening of the hearing. I would like to seek your advice on two things: - Why might there be a delay, and is this normal? - How many days should I wait before having my lawyer inquire about this directly from the registrar or the judge’s reader?

@Siddharth - Thank you, Sir, for your response! The judge directed that the RSA case be treated as urgent and will be scheduled for a short date for disposal, but there has been no update on the website, and my lawyer has not received any update yet. Regarding the suggestion to "File an application for inspection and inspect the court file," are you suggesting that the judge should have already set the date and submitted the order and that the delay is only due to the website? Should we proceed with inspecting the file and how to do it? Is it a formal procedure? Please confirm.

Yes. Judge might have fixed date but same has not been updated on court website. It is a normal practice. As such there is no delay on part of court. so you must file application for inspection. Also apply for certified copy of order.
You need take circulation of the matter is not listed by Hc. There is no other way. If you want to speed the case then you need to apply the SC for the same
The High court may not have uploaded the daily orders even though it has passed the speaking orders.
Your advocate may make an enquiry from the concerned court office about the orders passed on that date of hearing and let you know.
It is not unusual.
It is a second appeal hence the high court has taken up the case on priority basis.
You may not worry about the update not uploaded in the court website, your advocate can collect the details from the court on the next day.
It is a an usual affair.
1) it is normal
2) wait for a week as updating on website takes time
3) your lawyer can inquire with the associate of said court as to next date of hearing
Ask your lawyer to check with associate of said court as to next date of hearing
no formal application is necessary
- If judge has treated as urgent matter, you Advocate can contact the posting section of the Court and inform the
- Your Advocate can also make a mention before the judge and seek listing of matter.
- It is normal , and sometime updating takes time.
- Even the lawyer or you can enquire from the Court physically as well
- You can move an application for the inspection in the Court to check the file and its status , however 2-3 days it should be updated automatically.
Following your advice, my lawyer reached out to the court's associate and was told that the judge hasn't issued a date or order for the case yet. Once the judge provides any updates, they will be posted on the website. It's now the third day, and there's still no date or order. Do you have any insights into what might be causing the delay?

Judge is over burdened with cases
if no date is given in a week file precipe in court to keep the case on board for directions
Circulate the matter by filling preceipe
As such there is no delay.File seem to be with judge. you can file application for inspection.
If the court is over burdened then the delay in posting the orders is normal.
However you may wait for a reasonable period of at least 10 days and if you don't find the orders till then you can ask your advocate to file a praecipe before the registry.
A praecipe can be used to request that the court perform an action, such as entering a judgment or setting a trial date.
- The cause may be due to lack of staff , otherwise usually the Judge preferred to pass order on an urgent basis.
- Better wait for 2-3 days more.
