In a Pensioners SLP Civil case appeal in SC status of the Case is mentioned as follows.
"Pending (Final Hearing) Leave Granted / Rule NISI / Appeal Admitted (Hearing Expedited)"
Please enlighten me what is Rule NISI. What is its impact on the case.
This discussion clarifies the legal term 'Rule Nisi' as it appears in the status of a Pensioners SLP Civil case at the Supreme Court. 'Rule Nisi' essentially means a conditional order that will become final unless a party shows good cause to the contrary within a specified time. In this context, it signifies that the appeal has been admitted for hearing, and the court is proceeding, but there's still a possibility for the opposing party to present arguments against it.
a rule or order upon condition that is to become absolute unless cause is shown to the contrary.
Example: In a divorce case, a rule nisi may be issued to grant temporary custody of children to one parent until a final custody hearing can be held. The other parent has a specified time to show the court why the rule should be set aside or modified.
To be more precise: taking effect at a later specified time unless previously modified or avoided by cause shown, further proceedings, or a condition fulfilled.
The explanation about Nisi was given with an example and the answer was not pertaining to divorce case.
