You have not clarified whether this case status is from the Supreme Court website or some high court website.
Anyway. This would imply that your case would be heard and decided finally at the stage of admission itself.
In Supreme Court, initially “leave” is granted in SLP which then gets converted into a regular appeal, and then the case is heard in detail as a regular appeal, which takes much longer time for disposal. But, sometimes, the case is decided at the SLP stage itself. So, the case status mentioned above, if it relates to Supreme Court, may imply that the case may be decided at the SLP stage itself, thereby making the case disposal faster.
In high courts, usually matters (such as writ petitions) are first admitted, and then heard in a queue (as per case seniority, i.e., depending on when the case was filed). This may take a long duration of time. But, sometimes, the case may be decided at the admission stage itself, thereby saving time. This is generally done when the issues involved in the case are short or are of urgent nature.
