How long a person is supposed to wait in the court for a case
10-Jul-2023 (In Criminal Law)
A case was filed by my dad against the family of my sister's husband after she committed suicide after only 5.months of marriage because of dowry demands. Now we got a summon from court to be present in the court for hearing. Summon said that we have to reach by 10 am. My dad reached there an hour as it was the first date in court. The case wasn't heard till noon 2 o clock as neither the public prosecutor nor the defendant and their lawyer came. My question is for how long should my father wait there. If he steps out and the case is heard will he be marked as absent despite of the fact that he waited whole day outside the court.
You have recieved the Summon for recording of your statement before the court.
What you can do is as soon as you reach the Court, straight way go and mark your presence with the reader or directly to the judge. Else get in touch with any of your known advocate there at district court who will assist you further.
As far as your query is concerned, our judicial process is lengthy so with that, you have to wait. No doubt justice will be delayed but i am sure it will not be denied.
If your absence is marked on that day then again a fresh summon will be issued, thereafter bailable warrant and finally a warrant of arrest to secure your father’s presence

First of all you take a note that it's your case so you have to wait until 5:30 pm on date of hearing coz it's courts official time. And the second thing is that there are thousands of case to hear by a single judge and everyday a huge amount of cases listed for hearing in front of the judge so it's impossible to hear everybody in their respective allotted time so it's a process to call each and every petitioner at the official time which is 10:30 am to 5:30 pm. And if the case called and the party is not in front of the court it's supposed to be absent no matter you are just missed for 5 min to anywhere. So be prompt and available for particular case , after all its your case and you are fighting for your beloved ones. It's hard to wait morning to evening for just a hearing of 5 min but courts are also helpless in present secinerio. I hope you understand what I want to say. Thanks and best of luck for your case
