Case detail tabs

Clicking any case in the list opens its detail page. The tab bar runs across the top; on narrow screens short labels (“Docs”, “Apps/IAs”, “Collabs”) are used instead. Fees is only shown to members with finance access, and Caveats is only shown on Supreme Court and Delhi High Court matters. Every other tab is always visible.

Overview tab

Shows the core case fields plus, for Supreme Court and District Court matters, a set of court-specific cards.

Disposed banner (top of page): shown once the case has status Closed or a disposal date set. Carries a Disposed pill, the disposal type if known, and an editable disposal date.

Case Details card: case type, filing date, cause-of-action date, state, court, judge/bench, last-listed date, next hearing date (this becomes “Last Hearing” once disposed), and procedural stage.

Tentative next-listing banner: shown inside the Case Details card when the court has published a provisional date ahead of an official one. Carries a Tentative pill and, where available, a short scheduling note.

Criminal Case Details card: shown when the case type is Criminal and any FIR details exist, listing FIR number, police station, sections, and co-accused.

Case Records card: case number, CNR, diary number, registration/disposal dates and type, category, neutral citation, and court fees paid vs. assessed. For Supreme Court cases this also shows a collapsible list of SCI courtroom video-conference links, plus a footer reading “Auto-syncs 3× daily (7 AM, 9 PM, 10:30 PM IST) · last updated …”. See SCI integration.

eCourts (District Court) Records card: eCourts case type, filing/registration number, district, bench, status, stage, first hearing date, acts and sections, and a listing history table, with a footer noting the sync refreshes 4 times a day.

Tribunal Records card: shown for DRT/DRAT/RC matters, listing tribunal, case reference, applicant/respondent, advocate, status, next listing, and hearing history. Has its own Refresh button to re-pull the tribunal’s records on demand.

Consumer Forum Records card: shown for Consumer Forum cases, listing commission level (NCDRC/SCDRC/DCDRC), commission name, case/registration number, filing date, complainant, opposite party, advocates, and a list of daily orders with View links to the PDF.

Counsel card: read-only, two columns, Petitioner’s Counsel and Respondent’s Counsel, populated from SCI records. Hidden when empty.

SCI Orders & Judgements card: list of orders and judgements fetched from SCI, each with an Order/Judgement badge, date, and a View link. Hidden when empty.

Court Notices card: Supreme Court sourced notices with their returnable dates, shown directly on the Overview tab in addition to the Notices tab below.

The only field you edit directly on this tab is the disposal date. Everything else is edited from its own tab, or via Sync to court / Transfer case in the case header.

Related cases: below the main cards, you can link this case to others in your workspace as Clubbed, Parallel Writ, Counter Suit, Contempt, Consolidated, Transferred, Connected, Appeal, or Review, so multi-forum strategy across related matters stays connected.

Procedural stage tracker: a horizontal step indicator across the top of the tab shows where the case sits (a different step sequence is used for Civil/CPC, Criminal/CrPC-BNSS, and Execution/Order XXI matters). Click a step to move the case to that stage, with an optional note.

Hearings tab

Every hearing recorded for this case, bucketed into Today / Upcoming / Past. Each row shows the hearing date and time, purpose, court, judge, and outcome, with a compact badge if a synced court order is attached to that date.

For Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, District Court, and Consumer Forum cases, hearing rows with a matching synced order show a view order link directly on the row. Tap it to open the PDF in the viewer without leaving the case.

Click Add Hearing to log a new date, or click a row to expand it for editing, including marking a hearing Completed, Adjourned (with a reason), or Cancelled. See Adding a hearing.

Parties tab

All parties on the matter, grouped into Petitioner Side, Respondent Side, and Others, plus a Link to client option and a Copy Memo action for quickly copying party names. Non-manually-entered parties (synced from a court) carry an “Auto-sync” pill and can’t be deleted from here.

For Supreme Court cases a read-only Counsel (from SCI) card appears at the bottom, listing advocate names for each side.

Anonymised names: some District Court matters synced from Delhi’s district/family courts come through eCourts with a party name masked as XXXXXXX. Edit the party name here and the real name appears everywhere afterward, in the calendar, case list, and documents, and is never overwritten by a later sync.

Lower Courts tab

History of earlier courts the matter has passed through (High Court, District Court, tribunals), indented to show the appellate hierarchy. Click Add Earlier Court to record a new entry with:

Court / Tribunal, Court Level, State, and Agency
Case number: as filed in that court
Order date: date of the order being challenged or appealed
Judge / Bench
Limitation Override (days): leave blank to use the default (30 days for district courts, 90 days for High Court/Supreme Court appeals) or set your own
Judgment challenged: tick if this court’s order is what’s under appeal in the current matter

Each row shows a computed Limitation Expires date, color-coded by how close it is. Rows synced from the Supreme Court carry an “Auto-sync” pill and can’t be deleted; you can still add your own entries alongside them.

Documents tab

Upload and organize files attached to the case, grouped into All Files, Auto-Synced (Supreme Court, High Court, District Court, DRT), and My Uploads. See Documents & notes.

Tasks tab

Tasks linked to this specific case, viewable grouped by status or by due date. Tasks created here inherit the case context and also appear in the workspace-wide Tasks view. Click New Task to create a case-specific to-do with a title, description, priority, due date, and (when the case has more than one collaborator) an assignee.

Deadlines tab

Discrete, date-bound legal obligations for this case, separate from hearings and tasks. Click Add Deadline and fill in a title, deadline date, type (Filing, Appeal, Response, Submission, Limitation, or Other), and priority.

When you set the type to Limitation, pick a Limitation Act article from a built-in reference list (Articles 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 65, 70, 113, 116, 117, 124, and 137) and NyayX computes the deadline date automatically from the case’s Cause of Action Date (set on the Overview tab) plus that article’s limitation period. If no cause-of-action date is set yet, you’ll be prompted to add one first.

Overdue deadlines are highlighted in red with an OVERDUE badge. Mark a deadline done with a single click.

Notes tab

Free-text notes scoped to this case. Use for strategy notes, client instructions, or anything that isn’t a hearing record or a document. See Documents & notes.

Fees tab

Court fees, your fee arrangement, client billing, and case expenses on this matter, plus a read-only list of invoices issued for the case. For Supreme Court cases with SCI-synced court fee data, a read-only “SCI Court Fees” banner is also shown. See Court fees.

Applications / IAs tab

Interlocutory applications (IAs) filed in this case, with filing details, next date of hearing, status, and counter-affidavit/rejoinder tracking. See Applications (IA).

Notices tab

Notices issued by the court to parties or counsel. For Supreme Court cases, notices are auto-imported from SCI and shown read-only, grouped by issue date, alongside any notices you track manually, each with a returnable-date chip (past / due soon / future). For manually-managed (non-integrated) cases, this tab instead points you to the Hearings tab and the NDOH tracker for date tracking. See Notices.

Caveats tab

Shown only for Supreme Court and Delhi High Court matters. Tracks caveats filed under Section 148A CPC, which are valid for 90 days from filing. Click File Caveat to record the caveator’s name, the opposing party, court level, court name, filing date, and caveat number. NyayX sets the 90-day expiry automatically and shows a countdown, with actions to mark a caveat Invoked or Renew it for another 90 days. Supreme Court matters additionally show a read-only “Court-Scraped Caveats” section for caveats SCI itself has on record.

Similar Cases tab

Two independent lists:

Manually Clubbed Cases: cases you’ve explicitly linked to this one from the Overview tab’s related-cases section, shown here for quick reference.
SCI Flagged Similar Cases: for Supreme Court matters, cases the SCI registry itself has flagged as related, shown read-only with a link to open them in your workspace if you also have them there. This is the court’s own tagging, not an NLP or citation-based similarity match.

Collaborators tab

People with access to this specific case, separate from your workspace’s full member list. This is where you share a case with co-counsel or an external advocate, and where you can log billable time against the case per collaborator.

Meetings tab

Scheduled meetings linked to the case, such as client meetings, opposing-counsel calls, strategy sessions, and mediation. Distinct from hearings, which are court appearances. Mark a meeting completed to record its outcome.

Diary tab

A manually-maintained list of case-specific reminders and deadlines you want on your radar: limitation deadlines, filing deadlines, hearing prep, client meetings, or custom reminders, each with a due date and how many days ahead you want to be alerted. This is not an automatic activity log; nothing from hearings, documents, or notes is pushed here on its own. A built-in Limitation Act quick-reference panel is available from this tab.
