New case form

The New Case drawer — required fields are marked with an asterisk

2 Choose a court

Select the Court from the dropdown first. The court prefix (e.g., CS, CRL, WP) is then automatically prepended to the Case Number field.

If no courts appear in the dropdown, go to Settings → Court Colors and add your courts first.

3 Enter the case number

Type the numeric part of the case number. The full case number (prefix + number + year) is shown as a preview below the field.

Example: selecting “Delhi High Court” + entering 1234 + year 2024 → WP/1234/2024

4 Enter title and client name
  • Title — a brief description of the matter, e.g., “Sharma vs. Union of India”
  • Client Name — your client in this matter (not the opposing party)

These two fields are required along with the case number.

5 Add optional details
  • Filing date — when the case was filed
  • Next hearing date — if you know it, enter it now; it will also appear on the Calendar
  • Case type — Civil, Criminal, Writ, Consumer, Arbitration, etc.
  • Opposing party — name of the opposite side
6 Click Create Case

Click Create Case. You are taken to the case detail page.
