Adjourn & reschedule

There isn’t a single “Adjourn” button that also asks for the next date. In NyayX, recording the next date of hearing is how you adjourn a hearing: the moment you save a new NDOH, the hearing it replaced is automatically marked adjourned. A manual adjournment with no new date is also available, for the days the court doesn’t give one.

The common case: you have the new date

1 Record the NDOH

Use whichever entry point is quickest for you:

  • Court Mode (web or mobile, works offline): tap Record NDOH on the case’s card
  • The NDOH Manager (/hearings): inline Set Date on the case’s row, or Court Visit Mode to update several cases from the same court day at once
  • Inside the case → Hearings tab → expand today’s hearing → the NDOH tab
2 Pick the date and save

Pick the date the court gave (there’s a conflict check against your other hearings in Court Mode; see cross-court conflicts). Save.

Saving does two things at once: it creates a new hearing entry dated for the NDOH, and it automatically flips today’s hearing to Adjourned. You don’t create the new hearing and adjourn the old one as separate steps; recording the date does both.

When you don’t have a new date yet

If the court adjourned the matter without dictating a next date (“to be notified”, or the bench simply rose), record that as its own step so the hearing doesn’t sit in your “Upcoming” list looking unresolved:

1 Open the hearing

From the case’s Hearings tab, click into the hearing row to expand it, then Edit.

2 Set Status to Adjourned

Pick an Adjournment Reason: Court Busy, Judge Unavailable, Counsel Busy, Party Absent, Document Pending, Mediation Referral, or Other, and add a short free-text note if you want more detail. Save.

This marks the hearing adjourned and records why, without creating a next hearing. The case will show up with No date in Pending Dates until you come back and record the NDOH once the court gives one, at which point Step 1 above takes care of it.
