What did you understand by the term 'court marriage?'
In India, a court marriage is a legally recognized union between two individuals formalized in a civil court, typically under the Special Marriage Act. It is a secular and streamlined process that doesn't involve traditional religious ceremonies or rituals.
It's a legal marriage ceremony conducted by a Marriage Officer (usually a Sub-Registrar) in a court setting.
In that case you dont require any separate application to register the marriage, this itself will be sufficient to register the marriage.
You can enquire about it with the sub registrar/marriage officer for all further clarifications.

A court marriage will be solemnised under the Special Marriage Act by the Sub Registrar under the jurisdiction where you live.

Very well explained by experts hereinabove.
The Uniform Civil Code is a proposal in India to formulate and implement personal laws of citizens which apply equally to all citizens, regardless of their religion. Currently, personal laws of minority religious communities are governed by their religious scriptures, which has been made applicable in the State of Uttarakhand
However, if you feel unsatisfied with obligation of experts it would be appropriate to consult a local prudent lawyer.

What is the reason for getting married under the provisions of Special Marriage Act ? Be specific if it is a true story, presumably it is an acedemic exercise ?

Only Special Marriage. It will take a minimum of 30 days.

You have stated against my question, that, "Reason least efforts and simple marriage least time consuming" is neither conviencing nor maintainable.

To my knowledge, once married under Special Marriage Act, no further registration is required.
