Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I file a case in the High Court?

High Court cases are filed through the filing counter after preparing the required pleadings, paying court fees, and obtaining an advocate-on-record. NyaySevak connects you with experienced High Court advocates who handle the entire filing process for you.

What is the difference between a writ petition and an appeal?

A writ petition (Article 226) is filed to challenge government actions or enforce fundamental rights. An appeal challenges a lower court's judgment. Writs have broader scope and can be filed even without a prior court order.

How long does a typical High Court case take?

Timelines vary significantly by case type and court. Writ petitions can get interim relief within weeks, while regular appeals may take 1-3 years. Urgent matters can be heard the same day through mentioning.

Can I get an urgent hearing at the High Court?

Yes. Through a process called 'mentioning', your advocate can request the court to hear your matter on an urgent basis. This is available for matters involving immediate threat to liberty, property, or rights.
