Documents & notes
Uploading documents
Open a case and click the Documents tab. The sidebar splits files into All Files, Auto-Synced (grouped by originating court: Supreme Court, High Court, District Court, DRT), and My Uploads.
Click Upload Document, then drag a file in or pick one from your computer. NyayX accepts PDF, Word (doc/docx/odt), Excel (xls/xlsx/ods), PowerPoint (ppt/pptx/odp), images (jpg/png/gif/webp/heic), and video (mp4/mov/avi/webm), up to 100 MB per file.
Set a Document Type: Pleading, Evidence, Correspondence, Contract, Court Order/Judgment, Legal Notice, Affidavit, Vakalatnama, Certified Copy, Draft, or Other, plus an optional description and document date. If you pick Court Order/Judgment and the case already has past hearings, you can link the document to a specific hearing date instead of setting a date manually.
Viewing documents
Click any document row to open it in the on-screen viewer without leaving the case. PDFs, images, and legacy HTML-format orders render inline; Word documents render as a formatted preview; Excel/CSV files render as a table. Anything else (PowerPoint, ODF files, video) shows a preview-not-available card with an Open / Download button.
Documents are listed newest-first within each group.
Auto-synced documents
For Supreme Court, Delhi High Court, District Court, DRT, and Consumer Forum cases, NyayX downloads orders (and, for the Supreme Court, judgements and office reports) from the court directly into the Documents tab, grouped under Auto-Synced. These files are read-only. There’s no delete button on them, and NyayX blocks deleting them from the API too, since they simply re-download on the next sync. Everything you upload yourself sits under My Uploads and can be deleted, with a two-step inline confirmation.
For the Hearings tab, past hearing rows that have a matching synced order show a view order link directly, so you don’t need to come to the Documents tab to find it.
Notes
Open the Notes tab, separate from Documents, for free-text notes scoped to this case: strategy notes, client instructions, hearing observations, or anything that isn’t a document or a hearing record.
Pick a note type (General, Meeting, Research, Strategy, Reminder, or Other) and type your note. Notes are plain text only; there’s no markdown formatting.
Type @ to bring up a mention list for a teammate, and they’ll get notified. You can also attach the note to a specific hearing, document, or IA on the case, shown afterward as a small reference chip.
Click Save Note. Notes are timestamped with a relative “time ago” label and show who created them.
You can edit a note’s text later from its pencil icon (the note type and any mentions/links are locked in once created). Deleting a note asks for confirmation first, and can’t be undone.
