Document Vault
The Document Vault (/documents) is a workspace-wide view of every document attached to any of your cases, plus any standalone files you keep in My Files. Instead of opening individual cases to find something, you can browse, search, and download directly from here.
Layout
The Vault is a two-panel file browser:
- Left panel: a pinned My Files entry (standalone drafts and files not attached to any case), followed by a searchable, sortable list of every case that has documents. Each case row shows its number, party names, a source badge for its primary document source, and a document count/size.
- Right panel: once you pick a case, its documents are organized into folders by document type, namely Orders, Pleadings, Evidence, Drafts, Correspondence, Notices, Affidavits, Vakalatnama, Contracts, Certified Copies, and Other. You can also create your own Custom Folders per case (rename or delete them from the ”⋯” menu on the folder).
The header bar shows your total document count, how many cases have documents, source filter pills, a storage mini-chip, an Upload button, and a sort menu. A list/grid toggle for files within a folder is remembered across visits.
Searching, filtering, and sorting
Search: the sidebar’s case search matches by case number or party name; a separate search box appears once you’re inside a folder, matching by file name or description.
Filter by source: pills across the top let you narrow the case list to a specific origin:
| Source tag | What it means |
|---|---|
| SCI | Documents downloaded from the Supreme Court of India |
| DHC | Documents pulled from Delhi High Court |
| DC | District Court daily orders (auto-synced) |
| DRT | Debt Recovery Tribunal documents |
| Uploads | Files you uploaded manually |
Only sources that actually have documents show a pill. Consumer Forum (e-Jagriti) order PDFs sync in and are fully browsable inside their case’s Orders folder, but don’t yet have their own source pill or badge here. They’re the one court source not broken out separately in this view.
Sort the case list by:
- Recent first (default): the case with the most recently uploaded document appears first
- Most documents: largest case first
- Largest size: most storage used first
- Case A → Z: alphabetical by case number
Viewing documents
Click any document to open it in the on-screen viewer. PDFs, images, and legacy HTML-format orders render inline; Word files render as a formatted preview; Excel/CSV files render as a table. Anything else (PowerPoint, ODF, video) shows a preview-not-available card with an Open / Download button.
My Files
My Files holds standalone files that aren’t tied to any case yet: drafts, templates, anything you want to keep in the workspace without attaching it to a matter. It has its own nested folders. When a file is ready to go on a specific matter, use its Assign to case action to move it out of My Files and into that case’s Documents tab (this also works on a whole folder at once). Note that case collaborators shared in from outside your workspace never see My Files; it’s workspace-member only.
Downloading and deleting
Hover over any document row to reveal:
- Download: opens the file in a new tab (or prompts a download, depending on your browser)
- Delete: a two-step inline confirmation, for files you uploaded yourself
Court-synced documents (source SCI, DHC, DC, DRT, or Consumer Forum) have no delete option. They simply re-download on the case’s next sync, so NyayX keeps them read-only everywhere, including here.
Storage quota
The storage meter turns amber above 60% used and red above 90%.
Both files you upload yourself and court-synced order PDFs (SCI, DHC, DC, DRT, Consumer Forum) count toward your workspace’s total storage usage. The meter reflects everything sitting in the vault, including files you didn’t upload yourself. What’s different is the upload block: if a workspace goes over its quota, only new manual uploads (from the case Documents tab, My Files, or here) get rejected with a “storage limit reached” error. Court syncing itself isn’t gated the same way, so a workspace that’s near its limit purely from court-order syncing can still find manual uploads blocked until you free up space or add storage.
To make room, delete files you no longer need (court-synced files re-download automatically, so deleting them only helps temporarily), or add more storage. From Billing, buy additional storage in 1 to 100 GB increments at your plan’s per-GB rate, billed at the full monthly rate with no proration. It’s added to your quota as soon as payment is confirmed and stays until you’re on a plan or add-on that no longer needs it.
