How to attend a case hearing in supreme court

After the introduction of the Hightech security system in the supreme court of India, the entry to the high security zone is restricted by using proximity cards to the members of the supreme court bar association and by daily entry photo passes to others, which are issued from the counters installed at the entry point of the supreme court.

If a party to the case wants to remain present at the time of hearing the case, he has to get a request form forwarded from his advocate and then submit it along with proof of his identity at the Reception Counter of the Supreme Court, which will issue pass for attending the Court in which the matter is listed on that day. An unrepresented party can obtain the requisite pass, on giving proof of his identity, if his matter is listed on that date. Photo Entry Passes are now being issued to the parties as well as other visitors.
