Court Mode
Court Mode (/court) is a focused, phone-friendly screen designed to be used while you are physically in court. It shows all your cases scheduled for today across every court you have matters in, gives you a live position indicator for SCI courtrooms, and lets you record NDOH or passover in one tap.
Case cards
Each case appears as a card. The left edge of every card is colour-coded to your court colour setting for that court.
Court Mode covers all integrated court types:
| Chip color | Court type |
|---|---|
| Purple | District Court — shows physical room number (e.g. Room 28) |
| Indigo | Delhi High Court |
| Orange | Tribunal (DRT/DRAT/RC) |
| Teal | Consumer Forum (NCDRC/SCDRC/DCDRC) |
For District Court cases, the badge on the card shows the physical Room number (e.g. Room 28). When the registry has not assigned a physical room, it shows the eCourts number instead (e.g. Court 797).
For Tribunal and Consumer Forum cases, there is no live display board. The card shows a “No live display board — listed today.” notice.
Status indicators
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Calling now | The court is currently calling this item (SCI live feed) |
| Waiting | Your item has not yet been called; items ahead is shown |
| Already called | Your item has been called and passed |
| Heard today | The case has been disposed/heard for the day |
| Not in WDB today | Your case was not found in today’s Working/Daily Board |
| Court not in session | The court has not opened or is in recess |
| Listed today | Shown for Tribunal and Consumer Forum cases (no live board) |
SCI live position (Supreme Court only)
For Supreme Court matters, Court Mode reads the live SCI board to show:
- Items ahead — how many items are in front of yours in the run list
- Estimated wait — rough minutes remaining (based on average call rate)
- Run-list progress bar — visual strip showing where the court currently is vs. where your item sits
- Sequence strip — all item numbers in order; items already called are greyed out
When the court calls an item, the strip updates in real time. The card for your item pulses green when it transitions to Calling now.
District Court cards
For DC matters there is no live feed, so the card shows the stage, judge name, and a Join VC button if the court published a video link.
PASS OVER chip
When SCI’s live feed indicates a case has been passed over (i.e., called but skipped to be heard later in the day), an orange PASS OVER chip appears on the card. This is a live signal — it clears once the court calls the case again.
Recording an outcome
Record NDOH
The NDOH sheet slides in from the right. Use the quick chips (+1 week, +2 weeks, +30 days) or pick a date from the mini calendar.
Select the NDOH date. NyayX creates a new scheduled hearing for that date and updates the case record. A green ”✓ Date recorded” confirmation appears on the card.
Optionally tap + Also record mediation date to add a mediation session for the same save — enter the date, centre, and mediator name. Clash indicators are shown for both dates.
Passover
If the court calls your case but immediately passes it over (adjourned for the day without recording an NDOH):
This records a PASSOVER outcome against today’s hearing. The hearing date stays as today; the outcome is marked as passed over. No new hearing date is created — you can add it later when the court issues the next date.
Once either action is saved, the Record NDOH and ⏸ Passover buttons disappear from that card for the rest of the session.
Discrepancy alerts
If the NDOH you have on file for a case differs from what the scraped cause list shows, and the cause list date is in the future, a yellow Discrepancy alert appears on the card showing both dates. You can resolve it by accepting either the manual date or the scraped date. Once resolved, the alert is dismissed. Stale alerts (where the relevant date has already passed) clear automatically.
Opening the full case
Each card has an Open case → link that takes you to the full case detail page without losing your place in Court Mode — use the browser back button to return.
