This query is : Resolved
After hearing the arguments of all the parties, the Court has reserved its order in a matter. A considerable time is over but no order passed till date. Is there any time limit to pass order after hearing the case?

There is no time limit but the courts do take some time to pass order. If there is inordinate delay n your case then mention the matter before the court itself.

You can mention in the court itself or you can give a letter to Judicial Registrar.

when you want our advice you must come out with specific facts. What do you mean by considerable time.?We cannot presume anything and reply.
For civil cases,the Code of Civil Procedure Prescribes a period of thirty days under Order XX Rule 1 after the conclusion of the hearing of the case for pronunciation of judgement. If it could not be done within 30 days,the the court has to fix a date within sixty days from the conclusion of the hearing. It shall not be carried over beyond this period.
But no such prescription of time is there under Sec.353 of Code of Criminal Procedure for the judgments in criminal cases.
similarly for the Writs also there is no time limit fixed.
You have every right to move the concerned court for early judgment.

There is no time limit the court can announce the judgement at its discretion. However, normally if three to four months are passed the cases are again fixed for re-hearing.

Please let us know which court reserved its judgement. It is done by a lower court, then High Court can be moved under article 227 of the constitution.
