What does "await order" in court means ?

The respondent didn't appear consecutively for 4 or 5 times and now the status of the case can be seen as "Await order".

What does that mean ? Any support is appreciated.

Quick Summary

When a court case status shows 'await order', it generally means the judge is preparing to issue a ruling or decision. This status is not directly related to a party's absence from court. It often indicates the court is waiting on a decision from a higher pending petition or has adjourned the hearing specifically to deliver an order. For precise clarification, consulting your legal representative is highly recommended as this terminology can vary.

What is the Case No.? Which Court?

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Advocate) 16 May 2023

Await order has nothing to do with the absence of the litigant before court.

Await orders may be if any the court has adjourned the matter due to the orders to be passed in the pending petition hence the hearing is posted for 'await orders'.
