NDOH tracking
NDOH (Next Date of Hearing) is the future date assigned by the court after each hearing. NyayX tracks NDOH automatically so the next date always appears in the correct places.
Where NDOH appears
| Location | How it appears |
|---|---|
| Case overview | ”Next Hearing” field with the date |
| Cases list | ”Next Hearing” column — sorted by soonest first by default |
| Dashboard home | Upcoming Hearings widget |
| Calendar | Hearing event on the NDOH date |
| Hearings page | Upcoming tab shows all future NDOHs |
Updating NDOH
Open the hearing record → set Outcome to “Adjourned” → enter NDOH → Save. A new hearing is created automatically. See Adjourn & reschedule.
Open the case → Hearings tab → click Add Hearing → enter the NDOH date, court, and purpose. This manually creates the next hearing entry.
Also record a mediation date
When recording NDOH in Court Mode, tap + Also record mediation date at the bottom of the NDOH sheet. This expands an optional section where you can enter:
- Mediation date — the date of the mediation session (required to save the mediation entry)
- Mediation centre — e.g. Delhi Mediation Centre (optional)
- Mediator name — optional
When saved, a mediation session hearing is created for that date in addition to the court NDOH. Clash indicators are shown for both dates — the NDOH date and the mediation date — so you can spot conflicts before saving.
Overdue hearings
If a hearing date passes without an outcome recorded, NyayX marks it as Overdue (shown in amber). Open the hearing, record the outcome, and set the new NDOH to clear the overdue flag.
Pending Dates queue
The Pending Dates page (/pending) surfaces every case with an uncertain or missing next date in one place. A case appears there when it has one of three flags:
| Flag | Cause |
|---|---|
| No date | No future hearing recorded |
| Tentative | Date was captured provisionally (e.g., from a live SCI result before the diary entry is confirmed) |
| Discrepancy | Your recorded NDOH differs from the court’s cause list and the cause list date is in the future |
Discrepancy flags only appear when the court’s future date differs from yours — being listed on an intermediate date is not treated as a conflict. Stale discrepancy alerts clear automatically once the relevant date passes.
You can set or confirm the date inline from that page — see Pending Dates.
Passover
A passover happens when the court calls your case’s item number but immediately skips it to be recalled later in the session. This is different from an adjournment:
- A passover does not assign a new date — the case is still listed for today and will be called again
- If the court ultimately does not hear it, record the passover outcome on today’s hearing; the case will appear in Pending Dates for you to enter the next date once it is given
In Court Mode, the ⏸ Passover button records this outcome with one tap.
