Karnataka High directs uploading of daily orders in all matters on High Court website.

Regular First Appeal 2247 of 2007. Order dated 13 January 2022.

Sri.G.Ravi Shankar Shastry, learned counsel appearing for the appellants and Sri.K.Sachindra Karanth, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.1 submit that they are not aware of the order dated 29.03.2021 since the same has not been uploaded on the website.

2. This Court being surprised at such a submission and on verifying the same from the website, found that the order dated 29.03.2021 has not been uploaded and it is mentioned as ‘adjourned’. It is only on cause list being received that they came to know of the alleged non- compliance with the earlier orders. They submit that when the order has not been uploaded on the website, there is no way that they could come to know of the order and as such, it cannot be said that there is non- compliance of the orders passed by this Court. They further submit that they normally depend on the website of the Court and do not apply for certified copies of the orders.

3. The Registrar General, Registrar (Judicial) and Registrar (Computers) are directed to instruct all concerned to upload the daily orders in all matters on the website without fail in a time bound manner, so that these kind of situations are avoided and the learned counsels are not denied an opportunity of knowing the orders passed by this Court in their respective matters which would also avoid unnecessary adjournments like that to be granted today.

4. Taking into consideration the above fact, the learned counsel are today informed that by order dated 29.03.2021, they had been directed to file their synopsis of dates and events, notes of arguments and list of authorities along with copies of authorities on or before 08.04.2021.

5. Accepting the submission of the counsels that they were not aware of the orders passed on 29.03.2021, the time to comply with the order dated 29.03.2021 which has been communicated to them today is extended by a period of four weeks and they are now directed to file their synopsis, dates of events, notes of arguments, list of authorities along with copies of authorities on or before 18.02.2022. Re-list on 3.03.2022.
