About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal court application used in Indian civil litigation to prevent a case from being dismissed for non-prosecution when court officials cannot find the case folder. It is not a substantive motion on the merits of the case, but a procedural safeguard for the day's attendance. It specifically requests the court to issue orders for tracing the file and to schedule a new hearing date.
When should you use it?
Use this document when attending a scheduled hearing in an Indian court (such as a suit for permanent injunction) and the court clerk informs you that the file is not on the roster or is misplaced. Use a standard 'Application for Adjournment' instead if the file is available but you are unable to proceed for other reasons.
Who it's for
- a plaintiff in an Indian court appearing for a hearing where the physical case file is not traceable
- legal counsel representing an applicant who needs to avoid a default dismissal for non-appearance when a file is missing
