Case Types Code List of the Bombay High Court (HIGH COURT PRACTICE 6)

Courts use short codes to denote various types of cases instead of writing their full names. Understanding the meaning and full forms of these codes is essential for effective litigation practice, particularly at the stage of filing, listing, and tracking cases. At the initial stage of practice, junior lawyers often face confusion while interpreting these abbreviations, making familiarity with case type codes extremely important.

The use of case type codes is not uniform across the country. Trial Courts and High Courts have developed their own sets of codes based on local practice and administrative requirements. Therefore, advocates must be acquainted with the specific codes used by the court in which they are practicing.

Examples: WP – Writ Petition, FA – First Appeal, AO – Appeal from Order
