Sent 05 Aug, 6:47 PM · for 06 Aug 2026
No hearings tomorrow, 06 Aug 2026.
Switch to Next 7 days — there's something worth preparing for this week.
No hearings this week across your matters.
DUE 11 AUG · IN 5 DAYS
F.D.P. No. 212/2026 — written objections due
No draft started yet. Objections typically need 2–3 days to prepare properly — worth starting this week rather than the day before.
08 AUG
RFA 892/2026 — stay order still awaited
No update from the High Court since the mentioning on 22 Jul. Nothing due — flagged for visibility only.
OVERNIGHT CHANGE
F.D.P. No. 212/2026 — order sheet updated
Synced at 5:52 AM: the 11 Aug listing is confirmed, no change to date. Flagged only because the order sheet was touched overnight — worth a quick glance before the objections deadline.
No hearings today. On a day with nothing overnight, this brief would just say so — one line, nothing to scroll through before court.
This same content goes out by email and WhatsApp — the evening brief around 6–7 PM, the morning one before court hours. The in-app view here is always available on demand as well.

Draft — Ground (ii): Divisibility

Under Order 20 Rule 18 CPC, division by metes and bounds is the ordinary mode of working out a partition decree; sale is resorted to only where the property is by its nature incapable of fair and equal division. The suit property, comprising a ground and first floor, is physically and structurally capable of such division…
