One tap on any case from the My Diary will automatically display the full status of the case. A brief procedure of using the My Diary system is as follows:
On tapping the My Diary link on the home screen, user will be prompted to “Enter your Diary Code”. In case, user doesn’t have a diary code, click on the link “Generate Dairy Code”. A unique code will be generated and displayed. User is required to remember this diary code.
The same code will fetch the cases saved for Allahabad and Lucknow depending upon the selection of Bench by the user.
While visiting the case status page of any case, a button ‘Save’ to add the case (at the bottom of the page) in his/ her Diary is available.
The diary code generated is useful to view the cases in the ‘My Diary’ on a new/multiple device(s).
