Application for Taking Matter on Today (India)
This document is a formal application used to request that a legal case be added to a court's daily schedule (the 'board') for an urgent hearing. It is typically used in Indian criminal courts when a party needs immediate judicial relief or needs to file a miscellaneous application on short notice.

About this template
What is this template?
This document is a formal procedural filing used in Indian litigation to bypass the standard cause list. It is not a substantive petition or a witness affidavit, but rather a brief motion focused solely on the timing of the hearing. It contains specific placeholders for the court's jurisdiction and the case citation.
When should you use it?
Use this application when a delay in hearing a case would cause irreparable harm or render the relief sought infructuous. Use an Application for Adjournment instead if the goal is to postpone a hearing rather than accelerate it.
