Regarding Advocate Not Listing Case
10 months ago
Non Listing of case
I filed a writ petition in April 2023 and court gave 4 weeks of time to file reply to respondents and list the case after 4 weeks
Respondents didn't file reply till date and my lawyer is not taking interest in the case and not listing the case
High court vacations are already over since 10 days
My lawyer is saying that urgent hearing is on Wednesday this week
but I cannot find my case under any causelist and no order has been passed till now
I have already paid a decent advance but I am unable to understand why my lawyer is not relisting the case till now or why my status of listing is not showing in eCourts
Is my lawyer lying to me and what can I do now if that's the case?
Section 49 (1)(c) of the Advocates Act, 1961 relates to the Standards of Professional Conduct and Etiquette for Lawyer in India. This means that every lawyer must fearlessly uphold the interests of his client and must perform his duty in a fair and adequate manner. Failure to do so will attract punishment under section 35 of the advocates act

Thanks Sir for the advice
You might be not knowing about the procedure being followed in the Hon’ble High Court. Nobody following the time fixed by Hon’ble High Court that is four weeks in your case. Your advocate has to move an application called “Early Hearing Memo” but judges say that what is the urgency which your advocate cannot convince the Court when cases pertaining to last 10 years are pending.
