Madhya Pradesh High Court Advocates Flag Serious Concerns Over Case-Listing and Roster System

The Madhya Pradesh High Court Advocates’ Association submitted a representation to the Chief Justice on November 26, raising concerns about recent changes to case-listing practices, judicial rosters, and related procedural policies at the High Court.

The Association highlighted issues such as the removal of slip-drop boxes, non-relisting of adjourned matters, and the backlog of bail cases, which have created “uncertainty in day-to-day functioning” for lawyers and litigants.

The representation, signed collectively by members, urges the Court to address these issues before the Association’s December 1 general meeting.

It also notes that the Association may refrain from court work as a form of collective action if concerns remain unaddressed.
