Check Case Status Online in District Courts, High Courts & Supreme Court of India

You can check the status and history of many Indian court cases online through official judicial portals. Depending on the court, searches may be available by CNR number, party name, case number, filing number, advocate name, FIR number, Act or case type.

Use official records for confirmation. Online case information is a convenient public service, but the court record, order or certified copy remains the authoritative source if there is any discrepancy.

What is a CNR number?

CNR is a unique 16-character alphanumeric case identifier used in the eCourts system. If you have the CNR, you can generally search without first selecting multiple court-location fields.

Can I search without a CNR?

Yes. District and High Court services provide alternative search methods, including party name, case number, filing number, advocate name, FIR number, Act and case type, depending on the portal and court.

Why is my case not appearing?

Check the spelling, case number, year, court establishment and status filters. Data availability depends on the concerned court and its official case-information system. If the result remains unavailable or appears incorrect, verify the position with the concerned court or the official record.
