Lot of time of SC and HC Judges is lost charts of cases in group appeals are not prepared by counsels
The cost on public exchequer of every minute send by judges is very high.
The valuable time is often lost in sorting out categories of group cases listed togather.
100 appeals may have been place together for hearing in SC or SC. Law point may be same.
During hearing, much time of judges is wasted in identifying different categories in which these cases can be divided.
Registry staff cannot do it on his own. Once an attempt was made. SC judges directed registry staff to prepare charts in group matters and suggested lawyers to help registry. But idea did not work.
The judges need genuine help of lawyers to prepar these categories.
Lawyers have their own excuses for not being able to do so.
There may be hundred appeals represented by 15 lawyers.
In this group I may have only 10 cases. So I will prepare category of only my 10 cases. Other lawyers will prepare chart of their cases only.
But none of these charts may help judges.
What possibly may help judges is :
To appoint an Amicus Curie in All group matters where many lawyers are appearing, where facts are required to be classified in some charts.
