Neutral judgement citations to be implemented by the Madras High Court.

Beginning January 1, 2023, the Madras High Court will implement a neutral citation system for all of its decisions posted on the Court’s official website.

The three components “Year/MHC/Auto Generated Number” will make up the High Court’s neutral citation number.

According to a circular issued by the Registrar General of the Madras High Court, P Dhanbal, the citation number in the new format will be accessible at the top left of each page of an order or judgement.
