Orders reserved means the Officer of the Court shall pronounce the Orders after giving notice to the Advocates on record. Here your question is not in brief. If an Advocate is appearing on your behalf then notice will be served on your Advocate before pronouncing the Orders.

Hello,
Orders reserved means that court reserved orders to be pronounced in the matter after considering evidence on record. If you are represented by a Lawyer he will be given notice by the court before its pronouncement. If you are not represented by a lawyer notice will be given to you personally. If you are not available to court, notice of pronouncement of order will be attached in the notice board. You can ask the concerned clerk whether orders in the matter is pronounced or not. You can or cannot engage a lawyer to proceed with the case. It is always better to engage an expert lawyer to proceed with the case.

Hi
Orders reserved means the courts has completed hearing the arguments of both the sides
Rule 1 of Order 20 deals with the pronouncement of judgment. It talks of specific time frame for the declaration of the judgment in the open court
The supreme court in R.C. Sharma v. Union of India mandates that the court pronounce the order within 30 days from the date on which orders are reserved or within 60 days(maximum) from the date on which the orders are reserved.
Normally the court registry will be able to tell you 1 week in advance on when the order is going to be pronounced.
In the event you do not have a lawyer, you can check with the court registry and be present on the date of pronouncement of judgment.
