Which matters go where

The forum depends on the nature and seriousness of the matter — the complex houses the sessions courts, the magistracy, the civil courts and the Family Court under one roof.

District & Sessions Judge and Additional Sessions Judges

Serious (“sessions triable”) offences, sessions-level bail and anticipatory bail applications go before the District & Sessions Judge or an Additional Sessions Judge. Anticipatory bail is moved before the Court of Session here, and on rejection before the Punjab & Haryana High Court.

The CJM and Magistrate courts

The Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM) heads the magistracy at Faridabad. Most criminal trials, first productions and remand, police-report cognizance, and cheque-bounce complaints under Section 138 NI Act run before the CJM and the Judicial Magistrates First Class. Traffic court challans — including drink-and-drive matters under Section 185 MV Act — are also dealt with at this level.

Civil courts at Faridabad

Civil disputes — recovery suits, possession and eviction matters, injunctions, partition — go before the Civil Judges, distributed by pecuniary valuation, with the senior-most civil work before the District Judge’s own jurisdiction. Rent and eviction petitions under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973 are heard by the Rent Controller at the complex.

The Family Court

Divorce, maintenance (including Section 144 BNSS), custody and restitution matters go before the Family Court within the same complex — the working of which is covered in the chamber’s matrimonial practice pages.

Timings, cause lists and case status

The court generally works Monday to Friday, about 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with a lunch break around 1:30-2:00 PM, and is closed on Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays. Daily cause lists and case status are available through the eCourts system by CNR number, case number, party name or advocate name. Certified copies are obtained through the copying agency. The court remains closed on gazetted holidays notified for the Haryana judiciary; the authoritative holiday list for the current year is published on the Faridabad district court’s official eCourts page, and local-holiday declarations (which vary district to district) are notified separately — before travelling for a date near a festival, checking the official notification or confirming through counsel avoids a wasted trip. The complex is in Sector 12, near Bata Chowk.

Filing and appeals

Matters are filed before the appropriate court at the complex; several categories now support e-filing and online court-fee payment. Appeals and revisions lie to the Punjab & Haryana High Court at Chandigarh, and thereafter to the Supreme Court of India by Special Leave Petition.
