What to bring
Papers to bring
- The main case: its number and year, the court, the names of the parties and the next date
- A list of what you need, with dates: the judgment, the decree, the order of a particular date, a statement or an exhibit
- Your identity proof; someone who is not a party usually needs the court's permission and must say why the copy is needed
Where to go
Given at the copying branch of the court complex by you, your advocate or the advocate's clerk; some courts also take the request online or at the e-Sewa Kendra.
Fee
A copying fee by the page, paid in court-fee stamps or online as the copying branch asks, and an extra fee for an urgent copy; ask there for today's rates.
Good to know
- Check the copy before you leave: it should carry the copying branch's certificate and stamp, with the date you applied and the date it was ready.
- For an appeal, the time taken to get the certified copy is left out of the limitation period; apply as soon as the order is passed.
Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.
Stamp paper
Court fee and welfare stamps, where needed, are affixed as the court office directs.
