One seat for the whole of Bihar, and a board that a practice spread across the state has to read from a distance.
The Patna High Court display board is the live running order at the court in Patna, showing the item number each court has currently reached. It runs through sitting hours, ordinarily 10:30 to 16:30 IST. The Patna High Court was established in 1916 and exercises jurisdiction over the State of Bihar.
The Patna High Court sits at Patna and exercises jurisdiction over the whole of Bihar. For an advocate whose practice runs from a district court in Bhagalpur or Muzaffarpur up to the High Court, the ordinary condition is being somewhere else when the board matters.
That is the case the board has to serve. Not the advocate standing under the screen, but the one deciding whether today's journey is necessary at all.
The court number and the item number that court has reached. Read against your own item from the cause list, that is what tells you how much of the day you still have.
Pass over means deferred within the day. Part heard means a bench has begun and will continue, ordinarily returning before the same bench. Not reached means the court rose first and the matter takes a fresh date. The display board guide sets out each of them.
Cause lists are covered for around 700 district courts, for any court on any date, so a practice that runs from a subordinate court up to Patna sits in one place with the same alerts at every level. See cause lists, case status and the limitation calculator.
Ordinarily 10:30 to 16:30 IST on working days, with a lunch recess. The display board carries a live item number only while courts are sitting.
In the Lawgger app, where the board is mirrored live through court hours. For a practice spread across Bihar that is the point of it. This marketing website does not carry live court data.
A bench has begun hearing the matter and will continue it. That carries a listing consequence: part-heard matters ordinarily return before the same bench rather than being freshly allocated.
The list for a hearing day is ordinarily published on the evening before, with supplementary items sometimes following later. There is no fixed clock time to rely on.
