After assigning a case number, recording outstanding objections and obtaining undertaking, wherever required, the Registry shall prepare an Office Report under Annexure-III and list the matter before the appropriate Bench with the endorsement <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">&#8220;With Defects&#8221;<\/span> for appropriate judicial orders. The Bench may direct removal of defects, decide objections, grant time for compliance or pass other appropriate orders, with Registry ensuring compliance. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Scrutiny<\/span> of subsequent pleadings, affidavits, documents or applications <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">should not cause avoidable delay<\/span> in placing them before the Bench, keeping in view applicable <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">statutory timelines<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Registration and First Listing<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Every <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">registered petition<\/span> or application is required to <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">be assigned a case number<\/span> and marked to the appropriate Court.

Any delay is to be brought to the notice of the concerned Bench and the designated Registry authorities. The Registry shall endeavour to ensure that no matter remains pending at any administrative stage, including scrutiny, registration, marking or first listing, for reasons attributable to the Registry, with the Joint Registrar\/Deputy Registrar periodically reviewing matters awaiting first listing and taking appropriate measures to avoid delay.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Daily Cause Lists<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Daily Cause Lists are to be prepared<\/span> in accordance with <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Rule 89 of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9003275828\" target=\"_blank\">NCLT Rules, 2016<\/a><\/span> and are required to indicate the case number, cause title, purpose of listing, relevant statutory provisions and names of counsel\/authorised representatives, as available on record.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Connected matters are to be listed together before the same Bench.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Supplementary Cause Lists<\/span> to be issued only where necessary and shall be in manner as the regular cause list.
