Choice of Division Bench for Writ Petition in Bombay High Court

Dr.Mumbiram (Querist) 05 April 2009 This query is : Resolved
After getting our register number for writ petition (criminal) under Art.226 against Maharashtra Gov. and others at Bombay High Court,do we automatically get assigned to a specific court ?
Our online case status says division bench.
At this pre-admission level do we have a choice about which division bench (which Judges) ?
We wish to make circulation for early first hearing and immediately request interim relief.

Your file will go to the appropriate bench as per determination automatically.
After listing the matter you may mention for early first hearing and immediate request for interim relief before the Hon'ble Bench.

The matter will be heard by the Bench to which the such jurisdiction has been assigned. You cannot chose your choice of bench.
For an early hearing you may make mention before the chief justice (or whatsoever the procedure of the High Court).
