SLP admission hearing

 In an SLP (Special Leave Petition) hearing before the Supreme Court, where the court provides only 1–2 minutes to present your case, it is crucial to be precise, concise, and impactful. The focus should be on the following points, tailored to the limited time:

  1. The Core Issue (Question of Law): Begin with the legal issue that warrants the court's attention. Highlight why the case raises a substantial question of law or an issue of general public importance. For instance:

    • "This matter concerns a violation of the fundamental rights under Article 21 due to [specific context]."

  2. Grave Injustice: Briefly mention the injustice caused by the impugned order/judgment. For example:

    • "The High Court's order violates established principles of [specific doctrine/law] and has resulted in irreparable harm."

  3. Specific Ground for Interference: Summarize the most compelling reason why the Supreme Court should intervene, such as:

    • Contradiction with prior judgments of the Supreme Court.
    • Misinterpretation of the Constitution or statutory provisions.

  4. Urgency/Irreparable Harm: If there is an element of urgency, state it succinctly. For example:

    • "The petitioner seeks immediate relief as the ongoing non-compliance causes severe harm to [specific interest]."

  5. Relief Sought: Clearly state what you want from the court:

    • "The petitioner prays for the restoration of [specific relief] and seeks [specific directive]."

Avoid:

  • Detailed narration of facts.
  • Repetition of procedural history unless directly relevant.
  • Lengthy reliance on case laws or judgments—mention only if critical and provide one authoritative precedent.

Ad-interim vs interim orders (Order 39 Rules 1 & 2 CPC)

  Rule 1 or Rule 2 of Order 39 are repository of the power to grant injunction.  An order of injunction is always passed under Rule 1 or Rule 2 Order 39 save and except rare orders passed under Section 151 of the Code of Civil Procedure.  Rule 1 and Rule 2 of Order 39 do not use the words "interim or ad interim". These are the words coined by the lawyers and the courts merely to indicate the stage at which orders are passed.  Interim order usually remains in force for whole of the period of the suit unless varied under Rule 4 or set aside in appeal.  Ad interim order operates only till the hearing of the application for injunction.  Usually, ad interim order is passed ex parte though it can also be passed when otherwise is present.  It is possible that in a given case at the time of institution of a suit, the plaintiff does not make an application for an order of interim injunction as he feels no necessity in which case only summons of the suit is issu...
