Petioner In Person Registrar Approval Received But No Progress In Case
23-Jun-2026 (In Civil Law)
On admission hearing court asked to take registrar permission to appear as petitioner in person on 23.09.25, i appeared infront of registrar and got approval via mail in october 2025, but case not moved since then, do i need to submit appribal copy to filing counter
If permission to appear as Petitioner-in-Person has already been granted by the Registrar, you should ordinarily annex a copy of the approval email/order along with any subsequent filing, particularly if the permission is not already reflected on the court record. However, the requirement may vary depending upon the rules and practice of the concerned court. Before filing the counter/rejoinder, verify from the court registry whether the Registrar's approval has been tagged to the case record. The exact answer would depend on the court concerned (High Court/Supreme Court/other court) and the nature of the proceeding. If the matter has not been listed or moved since then, you may consider filing a Praecipe for circulation/listing and ascertain from the Registry whether any office objections, procedural compliances, or defects remain to be cured.

Check the case status on the court website and review the latest order sheets.
Inspect the court file to identify whether any objections, defects, or procedural requirements are pending.
Mention the matter before the concerned court and seek an early listing if the case has not been listed for hearing.
File an application for urgent hearing/listing if there is urgency involved.
Contact the court registry to ascertain whether the matter is pending due to administrative reasons.
If notices have not been issued or served, take appropriate steps for service of notice.
If there is an unreasonable delay, file a mentioning memo or appropriate application requesting the court to expedite the matter

Yes, you should submit the approval copy to the filing counter. When the court directs a party to obtain the Registrar's permission to appear in person, and the Registrar grants that approval via email, it is mandatory to place that approval on the court record for the case to proceed.
The procedure is as follows: Take a printout of the approval email received from the Registrar in October 2025. Prepare a formal application or memo stating that the Hon'ble Court had directed you to obtain permission, which has now been granted by the Registrar. Attach the printed email copy to this application and file it at the concerned filing counter of the court.
Once this approval is on record, the registry will list your matter for the next hearing. If there is still a delay after filing, you can mention the matter before the concerned court or the Registrar to request a date. Since the approval is already granted, non-filing of this document is likely why your case has not moved since October 2025.

If the Registrar has already granted permission for you to appear and argue the matter as a petitioner-in-person and the approval was communicated by email, keep a printed copy of the approval email and the relevant order. In many courts, such approval is required to be placed on record, and if the case has not moved since then, you may visit the filing/registry section and verify whether the approval has been tagged to the case file.
You may also file a simple mentioning/application before the Registry seeking listing of the matter and enclosing a copy of the Registrar's approval. Since procedural practices differ from court to court, checking the case status with the concerned Registry is advisable. Preserve all emails, acknowledgments and filing receipts for future reference.

Yes, it is safer to file or annex the Registrar's approval copy with your counter or a separate memo if the approval is not already part of the court record. This minimizes procedural objections and confirms your status as a Petitioner-in-Person.
