Supreme Court Directs Registry To Not Clear Petitions Filed With Black & White Photographs; AoRs Must Produce Colour Photos

The Supreme Court issued directions that petitions filed in the Registry must be accompanied by colour photographs of the Advocate-on-Record, and that submissions with black-and-white photographs should not be cleared. This procedural order ensures uniformity in documentation, prevents administrative errors, and upholds the authenticity of filings before the Court. The ruling also clarifies that non-compliance with these formal requirements can result in petitions being returned, thereby reinforcing the importance of adhering strictly to procedural standards for effective judicial administration.
