Can anyone please elaborate the stages that take place in civil/criminal/matrimonial/other cases. so juniors like me can know how the court system works. I am in courts for the past 1 month and every time i sit for observation in court, I am not able to understand most of the things. The advocates just give some papers to the judge and the cases are given dates. I would be very thankful to all the learned members here if you could please let me know the stages of the suit and how it is done. Recently i was appearing for 138 case and i asked the judge to issue NBW because the summons had been served, suddenly the opposite advocate came and filed something and I dont know what it was. Please help me!
