3 Fetch the case from the court (integrated courts)

Each integrated court has its own lookup flow:

Supreme Court of India

  • Fill in case type, serial number, and year using the case-number picker.
  • Click 🔍 Fetch from Supreme Court. A captcha is solved automatically; fetching takes 10–20 seconds.
  • On success: “Case found on SCI records — details pre-filled below. You can edit any field.” Parties, filing date, advocates, IAs, notices, orders, and the tentative next-listing date are all pre-filled. If SCI shows a disposal date, the case is created with status Closed.

Delhi High Court

  • Fill in case type, serial, and year, then click 🔍 Fetch from Delhi High Court.
  • Parties, filing date, next hearing date, and advocate are pre-filled from DHC records.

District Court

  • Pick the state and district first (case types depend on which complex the district sits under).
  • Enter the serial number and year, then click 🔍 Search District Court.
  • If multiple matches appear, pick the correct case from the grouped list. Full records are fetched on save.

Tribunal (DRT/DRAT/RC)

  • Select the court type (DRT, DRAT, or RC), location, case type, number, and year.
  • Click 🔍 Look Up in DRT Records. Parties and next listing date are pre-filled.

Consumer Forum (NCDRC/SCDRC/DCDRC)

  • Enter the full case number as shown on the e-Jagriti portal, e.g. SC/7/CC/1051/2019.
  • Click 🔍 Look Up in Consumer Forum Records.
  • On success the commission name and registration number are shown. On save, the case auto-imports its full hearing history, parties, and all daily orders as PDFs.

See SCI integration for the full list of fields synced from the Supreme Court.

4 Fill in the manual form (custom courts)

When a custom head is selected, no lookup is required. Fill in:

  • Case Number — free text, e.g. ARB/12/2024 (optional — left blank if not yet assigned)
  • Party A and Party B — both required
  • Case Type — optional (Civil, Criminal, Family, etc.)
  • Filing Date and First Hearing Date — managed via the calendar and NDOH

The Save button becomes active once parties, client name, client state, and at least one date are entered.

5 Complete the remaining fields

For all court types:

  • Case Parties — petitioner (Party A) and respondent (Party B); auto-filled for integrated courts
  • Case Type — Civil, Criminal, Writ, Consumer, Arbitration, etc.
  • Client Name — your client in this matter; start typing to pick an existing client or add a new one
  • Client State — required for all cases

Optional fields: description, cause of action, value of suit, priority.

6 Click Save Case

Click Save Case in the sticky bar at the bottom of the page. You are taken to the case detail page.

For Consumer Forum cases, the full hearing history and daily orders are imported automatically after save.
