The system will be operational from January 1, 2023, according to a circular issued by P. Dhanbal, Registrar General of the Madras High Court.

“The mode of citation for neutral citation of Madras High Court will be ‘Year/MHC/auto generated number’. A unique neutral citation number for every order/ judgment uploaded on the official website will be auto-generated on and from January 1, 2023 and will be available at the top left part of each page of the order/ Judgment which will be the auto generated part of this mode of citation,” reads the circular.

An additional search field has also been created under ‘Judgments – PDF Judgment’ link of the official website to facilitate search of orders/judgments qua neutral in addition to key words, case number, party name, date of order/judgment etc.
