A board where the shape of the day depends on which kind of day it is — and the two kinds move at completely different speeds.
The Supreme Court display board is the live running order at the Court in New Delhi, showing the item number each court has currently reached. It runs through sitting hours, ordinarily 10:30 to 16:00 IST. Because the Court sits in benches across many courtrooms at once, the court number is as important as the item number.
The Supreme Court's week is not uniform. Miscellaneous days carry long boards of fresh matters taken up briefly, and courts move down them quickly. Regular hearing days carry fewer matters, argued at length, and a court can stay on one item for a long stretch.
The practical consequence is that the same item number means two different things depending on the day. On a miscellaneous board, item 40 can arrive within the morning. On a regular board it may not be reached at all.
This is why watching the board matters more here than reading the item count. The count is a plan; the rate the board is moving is the actual information.
With many courts sitting simultaneously, the court number is doing real work — advocates with matters before more than one bench are reading several rows and deciding which is about to become urgent.
Pass over is a deferral within the day. Part heard means a bench has begun and will continue, ordinarily returning to that same bench. Not reached means the Court rose before the item was called. See the display board guide.

Through sitting hours, ordinarily 10:30 to 16:00 IST on working days, with a lunch recess. There is no live item number outside sitting hours or during Court vacations.
Because miscellaneous days and regular hearing days move at very different rates. A long miscellaneous board can be worked through quickly, while a regular board may stay on a single matter for hours. The rate the board is moving tells you more than the item count.
