Case Diary
by Law Tarazoo

eCourts case status for advocates

Case Diary is an independent product of Law Tarazoo Technologies LLP. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by eCourts, the National Informatics Centre or any court. Case Diary reads official eCourts data through a licensed data partner.

What the eCourts portal is and what it gives you

The official eCourts portal connects you to online court services. District and subordinate court services include case status, case history, hearing dates, orders, judgments and court-wise cause lists where uploaded. High Court services are also linked, though the available records and search options vary by court.

A case record usually shows the parties, case and filing numbers, court, stage and next hearing date. The history helps you follow past hearings. Orders must be read separately to understand the directions. A missing order or date may mean the record has not yet been updated. Confirm important dates and directions from the court's record and the relevant order.

eCourts case status by CNR number

A CNR is the 16-character case identifier used by the eCourts system. Open the relevant case status service, enter the CNR without spaces or hyphens, complete the captcha and open the result. Check the parties and court before relying on it. Read the next date, stage and hearing history together.

If you do not have the CNR, use the portal's case number or party name search. Select the correct state, district and court complex where requested, then enter the case type, number and year or the party details. Tribunal matters may use their own identifiers. Read our guides on what a CNR number is and checking case status on eCourts.

eCourts cause lists and what to do for courts that publish none

A cause list sets out matters listed before a court on a particular date. Where available, choose the court and date in the cause list service. Check the court number, parties and case number. Look for supplementary lists and sitting notices too. A next hearing date in case status is not itself proof that the matter appears on that day's board.

Not every court or tribunal publishes a list we can read. Where a usable list is available, Case Diary matches it to your saved matters for the morning list by 7 am. Where it is not, Case Diary checks the case record itself daily for changes. This does not recreate a missing official cause list. Check the court's website or registry when listing remains unclear. See how the morning cause list works and the live courts covered table for partial coverage and source limits.

The eCourts Services app and what a case diary adds on top of it

The eCourts Services app gives mobile access to available case information, CNR searches and cause lists. It also lets you save cases under My Cases. It is a court-services app, separate from Case Diary. The records it shows depend on what the court has entered and made available.

Case Diary keeps matters from supported courts and tribunals in one practice diary, with notes, client records and team access. It checks saved case records daily and sends hearing-change and order alerts by app notification. These tools sit alongside the court services; they do not replace the official portal or make Case Diary an official court app. Read about the case diary app for advocates.

How Case Diary reads eCourts data

Case Diary reads official eCourts data through a licensed data partner. When you add a matter by CNR, case number or party name, it looks up the record through that partner. It then checks the saved matter daily and updates the diary when the source reports a changed date, stage or order.

Updates depend on the court publishing the information and the data service making it available. Coverage and cause-list availability vary by forum. NCLT, DRT and consumer forums have their own sources; they are not all part of eCourts. Case Diary is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by eCourts, the National Informatics Centre or any court. Always verify a critical date or direction against the official record.

Questions about eCourts and Case Diary

What is eCourts?

eCourts is India's project for computerisation of courts and online judicial services. Its public portals provide case status, hearing history, orders and cause lists where the court has made them available.

How do I check case status on eCourts?

Open ecourts.gov.in and follow the case status link for the relevant court. Enter the 16-character CNR without spaces or hyphens and complete the captcha. If you do not have the CNR, use the available case number or party name search and select the correct court and year.

Is Case Diary the same as eCourts?

No. Case Diary is an independent product of Law Tarazoo Technologies LLP. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by eCourts, the National Informatics Centre or any court. Case Diary reads official eCourts data through a licensed data partner.

Can I get eCourts cause lists on my phone?

You can view available court-wise cause lists through eCourts services on your phone. Case Diary matches readable published lists to your saved matters for the morning cause list by 7 am. Where a usable list is unavailable, it checks the case record daily; that check is not confirmation that a matter is on a published board. Delivery depends on source availability and coverage.

Does Case Diary cover High Courts, District Courts, NCLT, DRT and consumer forums?

Case Diary supports matters across these groups, but coverage varies by court, bench and service and may be partial. NCLT, DRT and consumer forums use their own systems rather than the district eCourts portal. The Courts covered page shows current coverage from our live data; support for a forum does not mean a readable cause list is available there.
