About this template
What is this template?
This is a formal procedural application filed under the Code of Civil Procedure or High Court Rules in India. It is not a substantive motion on the merits of the case but a request to modify the court's calendar. It contains placeholders for the Court Name, Case Number, and specific Grounds for Urgency.
When should you use it?
Use this when a change in circumstances makes the current hearing date prejudicial to your legal interests. If you are instead trying to delay a hearing, use an Application for Adjournment.
What's inside
| Clause | Name | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Para 1 | Description of the Matter | Identifies the specific case number and current hearing date scheduled by the court. |
