On a related note, the difficulties faced by lawyers because of last-minute changes in the sequencing of cases was mentioned this morning as well by Senior Advocate Gaurav Bhatia.
Bhatia informed a Bench comprising Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant, Justice Joymalya Bagchi and Justice V Mohana that revised sequencing lists were often issued just minutes before the court assembled each morning.
He said that this makes it difficult for advocates to know which courtroom they were required to appear in.
“We enter the courtroom, and then we come to know that we are supposed to be in Court Number X rather than Y because a new sequence has been issued at 10.29 or 10.30. It is not humanly possible for us to assist the Court,” submitted Bhatia.
