I did not understand her at that time. I repeat these words to my junior counsel, who want to become an AOR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The listing of the Teesta Atul Setalvad matter<a id=\"fnref1\" href=\"#fn1\" title=\"1.Teesta Atul Setalvad v. State of Gujarat, 2023 SCC OnLine SC 759.\"><sup>1<\/sup><\/a> made me revisit the process of listing before the Supreme Court. The matter was filed on 1-7-2023 and listed before the Bench on the same day, in a matter of a few hours. Somehow, the Supreme Court website showed the matter to be still under defects till 6-7-2023.

I also acknowledge that the Registry may have its own constraints and issues and I am in no way critiquing the Registry, though, I will be dishonest if I do not express my frustration at getting matters cleared and listed sometimes.<\/p>\n<p>With the disclaimers out of the way, let us understand what happens once a special leave petition (SLP) is given at the filing counter. This is my broad understanding of the process of listing without going into the specific requirements of a criminal or civil SLP or original suit or civil appeal, etc. or methods of urgent listing, etc. For the sake of brevity, I am also not discussing e-filing in the present article.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(<i>a<\/i>) The procedure of filing and listing before the Supreme Court is governed by the Supreme Court Rules, 2013.<a id=\"fnref2\" href=\"#fn2\" title=\"2. Supreme Court Rules, 2013.\"><sup>2<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(<i>b<\/i>)<i> Filing<\/i>.&#8212; When an SLP is ready to be filed, the AOR or his registered clerk files it at the filing counter. Any other advocate can also file an SLP, provided he has his\/her ID card and a letter authorising him or her to do so from the AOR.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(<i>c<\/i>) The filing counter is located opposite UCO Bank in the Supreme Court premises. At the counter, a dealing assistant (DA) takes your SLP and stamps it with the date of filing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(<i>d<\/i>) The DA enters basic details on the computer. A basic check of the Vakalatnama and affidavit is done at this stage. Your SLP is hereby allocated a diary number &#8212; such as &#8220;Diary No. 1234 of 2023&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(<i>e<\/i>) This SLP then goes to a scrutiny assistant (SA). The SA checks whether the SLP is in proper format and whether it prescribes to the Supreme Court Rules, 2013. The scrutiny assistant:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type: decimal; margin-left: 12.5mm;\">\n<li>\n<p class=\"List&nbsp;Paragraph\" style=\"margin-left: 0.0mm;\">Checks that the court fee is proper.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"List&nbsp;Paragraph\" style=\"margin-left: 0.0mm;\">Puts the case into a subject category.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"List&nbsp;Paragraph\" style=\"margin-left: 0.0mm;\">Checks whether your case is within limitation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p class=\"List&nbsp;Paragraph\" style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Enters all the &#8220;defects&#8221; on his computer.

This process is called verification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(<i>i<\/i>) At this stage, the BO scrutinises whether the case is in order and prepares an office report which also states whether any other identical or similar case is pending before the Supreme Court. He also enters the section or provision of law which the SLP is concerned with.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(<i>j<\/i>) The Registry checks if a caveat has been filed. The AOR has to serve the caveator and give proof of service to the Registry, in order for the SLP to be considered defect free.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\">(<i>k<\/i>)<i> Registration of the SLP. &#8212;<\/i>Once the Branch Officer is satisfied that all defects are removed and that the SLP is in order, he registers the case i.e. he enters the details of the SLP on his computer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt; text-indent: -18pt;\"> (<i>l<\/i>) If your SLP or civil appeal or criminal appeal is within the period of limitation, then the diary number is converted to SLP number or Civil Appeal Number at this stage.
