What is the meaning of "Judgment Type - Final Non AFR"


02-Dec-2023 (In Civil Law)
Dear Sir, I had filed an appeal in the High court against a decision by ADDITIONAL DISTRICT JUDGE in 2015 under Rent control Act. In every listing of case the status was showing "Judgment Type - Interlocutory Non AFR" but in last listing it was showing "Judgment Type - Final Non AFR" however case status was showing PENDING. Please make me understand the meaning of it. I will be highly obliged to you. Thanks & Regards - DK Verma

Dear Mr. Verma,
This is an abbreviation for "Approved For Reporting". It means that the judgment passed is deemed fit for publication in any judicial report or journal. In your case the statis is showing as pending and final non AFR. That means the case is still pending probably because in your judgment some compliance has to be done or reported to the court. Therefore they have kept it pending. Also they have not approved your judgment for reporting in a legal journal or report. Again I am saying this based upon probabilities. I need to check the judgment to properly advise you as to why is it still pending. That AFR thing though is immaterial for your case.

Hello,

Acronym AFR stands for Approved for Reporting i.e, means that the order judgement is of some important nature which is required to be reported in some journal.

Judgment Type - Interlocutory Non AFR- means that the case was taken up on the date of listing and some order was passed which was not final in nature meaning thereby that the case will be taken up on the next date of listing for further arguments.

Judgment Type - Final Non AFR- This means that your case has been decided but the FINAL JUDGEMENT has not been approved for reporting.

Thanks and Regards
