Can i give statement to the judge prior to the hearing


07-Feb-2023 (In Civil Law)
Hi, I have filled a case against the Haryana board for the change in the Date of birth in the 10th marksheet in Faridabad. But I am currently located in Bangalore. At the last hearing on 6 Feb 2017, I was expected to be available for statement, but the judge was on leave that day and gave a next date that is after 2 months. My query is, that is there any provision that we can setup a meeting appointment with the judge for my statement before the next hearing date? Or it is mandatory for me to give the statement on the next hearing date only? Kindly advise on the same. Thanks, Amit

If you want to tell the judge about your case or ask the judge to take a certain action in your case, you should file a written motion with the clerk of the court in which your case was filed explaining what relief you are seeking and why you are entitled to that relief. (“Relief” means what you are asking the court to do.)

If you file a written motion, you must send a copy of your motion to every other party to your case (or the party’s attorney) before you send it to the court. (This is called “service.”) Make sure you attach the appropriate documentation showing that a copy of the motion was served on all the other parties and explaining how (e.g., by personal delivery, or mail, postage prepaid) and when service was made. Usually, the judge will schedule a hearing on your motion. During the hearing, you will have the opportunity to explain your position to the judge in court. Judges must make their decisions based only on the relevant facts or issues of the case and the applicable laws. Therefore, please be sure that the facts or issues that you plan to tell the judge about are relevant to your case. This helps ensure that your case will proceed more quickly.

There is no provision for individual meeting in the facts like of your case. You may ask your counsel to file an application for preponment of date of hearing or to file an application for appointment of a commission to record your statement.

Yes there is provision to hear the case before the fixed hearing date after .So you should call your advocate as your advocate is authorised to move an application for early hearing before the court in your absence even and if allowed you may appear before the court for the said statement.

yes it is mandatory for you to give the statement on the next hearing date only. However if you are not available on the particular date you can request further adjournment on pre-fixed date. And you can also move an application to record your statement early stating the reason of non-availability. However the discretion of allowing such application depends on facts and circumstances of your case and discretion of the PO.

Check the last order to see what the matter is next listed for. You can also move an application for early hearing with a convenient date and citing reasons for seeking early hearing. You may require presence or noc of opposite party.
