Guides

Track your court case in India

Indian case tracking is fragmented across the eCourts services portal, 25+ state High Court portals, the Supreme Court\'s own system, and dozens of specialty tribunals. This guide covers the general workflow and links to the per-state guides for each major High Court.

The general workflow (any court)

  1. 1

    Find the CNR number

    Locate the 16-digit CNR on the case filing sheet, an old order, or via party-name search on eCourts if you've lost track of it. The CNR stays with the case for life, across transfers and appeals.

  2. 2

    Visit the eCourts portal

    Go to services.ecourts.gov.in for district and taluka cases, or the relevant High Court portal for HC matters. Enter the CNR in the search box and submit.

  3. 3

    Read the case history

    eCourts shows filing details, party names, advocate names, and a chronological list of every order and hearing to date. Each row links to the order text when available.

  4. 4

    Download orders and next-hearing info

    Save PDFs of orders you need for file. Note the next listed date and the bench number. These change often, so check again the day before the hearing.

  5. 5

    Doing this for 10+ matters weekly is clerical grind you shouldn't be on.

Questions about case tracking

The eCourts Services portal (services.ecourts.gov.in) is the public case-status interface for India's eCourts project, a joint initiative of the Supreme Court and the Department of Justice. It aggregates case data from 26,000+ district, taluka, and specialty courts nationwide. Most High Courts maintain their own case portals alongside this.
Most High Courts publish case status on their own portals rather than on services.ecourts.gov.in, though an increasing number also feed data into the National Judicial Data Grid (NJDG). See the state-specific guides below for the exact portal each HC uses.
The National Judicial Data Grid is a real-time national dashboard of pending and disposed cases across Indian courts. It's primarily a statistical aggregator (useful for research) rather than a case-lookup tool. For case-specific queries, the eCourts Services portal and High Court portals remain the primary sources.
New filings can take 3-7 days to appear. If the case is older, try alternate search fields (party name, advocate name, case number). Some specialty courts and tribunals (DRT, NCLT, consumer forums) are not part of the eCourts project, so check the relevant tribunal portal directly.
District-court data typically updates within a day of a hearing; next-hearing dates appear immediately on listing. High Courts vary by bench: some are real-time, some lag by a day or two. Nowlez AI Munshi watches the court records portal and participating HCs for you, and when an order lands it reads it, drafts your next step, and surfaces it on WhatsApp or the App, not just a ping that something changed.
