⚠️ Top Reasons Why Judiciary Forms Get Rejected
- Practice Experience Mismatch: 7 साल के वकालत अनुभव (Advocate Practice) का वैध प्रमाणपत्र न होना या गलत तिथियां दर्ज करना।
- Case Details Error: न्यूनतम केस हैंडलिंग (24 cases per year) की शर्त पूरी न करना या गलत जानकारी देना। DV के समय इसका कड़ाई से सत्यापन होता है।
