The record already knows what happened to your matter. The work is getting it out of a scanned order sheet and into your week.
Case tracking means the software watches a matter for you: when it is listed, what the last order said, and when the next date is. Lawgger tracks by CNR across the Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts, tribunals and around 700 district courts, and writes the order back in plain words.
Everything else on this page is plumbing. This is the part that changes what a Tuesday looks like.
Heard learned counsel for the parties. Issue notice. Until the next date of hearing, there shall be an interim stay of the operation of the impugned order. Counter-affidavit, if any, be filed within four weeks. Rejoinder, if any, within two weeks thereafter. List thereafter.
Interim stay granted; counter due in 4 weeks.
With the deadline created, the rejoinder window queued behind it, and the full order one tap away for the moment you need the exact language.
That sentence is what a senior advocate would say to a junior in the corridor, and it is the only form of the order that survives contact with a working day. No free tracker produces it, because producing it means reading the order rather than storing it. It is also why tracking and research belong in the same place: the same reading that writes the digest is the reading that answers a question about the matter later.
| Signal | When it reaches you | What you do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Listing alert | When the day's list is published, usually the evening before. | Decide the morning. Brief the client, arrange the file, tell the junior. |
| Item number | With the listing, before the court sits. | Decide when to leave chambers. Item 4 and item 84 are different mornings. |
| Order digest | Once the order of the hearing is uploaded. | Know in one line what the bench did, without opening the scan. |
| Next date | With the order, since a date exists on the record only after it. | It lands on the calendar. No transcription from a diary, no re-typing. |
| Deadline created | Immediately after the digest, where the order sets a period. | Four weeks for the counter becomes a dated obligation with reminders before it. |
| Chamber notification | At the same moment, to everyone on the matter. | The clerk and the junior know without being told twice. WhatsApp if that is where they live. |
The hearing is on the calendar. The period for appeal, for the counter, for the review, for the restoration, is not — until somebody works it out.
Lawgger carries 21 statutory limitation clocks. Each one rolls past weekends, gazetted holidays and court vacations rather than landing you on a day the court is shut, and each one flags where condonation under section 5 of the Limitation Act would have to be asked for. Holidays differ from state to state, which is exactly why counting them by hand goes wrong in a practice that spans more than one High Court.
The connection to tracking is direct: an order that says four weeks becomes a date, and a date on a court holiday becomes the next working day, without anyone doing arithmetic at eleven at night. The limitation calculator sets out the clocks in full, and court coverage sets out the forums they apply across.
Clerks, juniors and partners work from the same matter rather than from three copies of a diary. When the next date changes, it changes once.
Actions that should not happen without a senior seeing them can be held for approval. Delegation without loss of control is the whole of chamber management.
The thread about a matter sits on the matter, not scattered across personal phones, so a junior joining in month four can read what happened in month one.
Deadlines become tasks, time becomes a billing timer, and billing becomes a GST invoice with Razorpay payment. That is the practice suite.
For chambers with several fee-earners and shared clients, see law firm software.
If the chamber is you and a clerk, tracking is the single highest-value thing software does. See for solo advocates.
किसी भी सुनवाई के बाद अदालत का आदेश (order) रिकॉर्ड पर चढ़ता है। अगली तारीख उसी आदेश के साथ आती है — जब तक आदेश अपलोड नहीं होता, तब तक तारीख रिकॉर्ड पर होती ही नहीं। इसीलिए बार-बार देखने से कुछ नहीं मिलता; इंतज़ार आदेश का करना होता है।
Lawgger में मुकदमा एक बार सीएनआर (CNR) से जोड़ दीजिए। उसके बाद जैसे ही आदेश चढ़ता है, आपको दो चीज़ें मिलती हैं — सरल शब्दों में यह कि आदेश में क्या हुआ, और अगली तारीख, जो सीधे कैलेंडर पर लग जाती है। साथ में समय-सीमा (limitation) की गिनती भी हो जाती है, छुट्टियों और अदालत की छुट्टियों को छोड़ते हुए।
All three work, up to a point. It is worth being clear about where that point is.
| Method | What it does well | Where it stops |
|---|---|---|
| The paper diary | Never fails, never needs a signal, and holds the whole practice in one place a senior can flip through. | It only knows what you wrote in it. A date changed in an order you have not read yet is a date the diary does not have. |
| Phone reminders | Excellent for the dates you already know, and they follow you everywhere. | Every entry is manual, so the failure is silent: the matters you forgot to enter never remind you of anything. |
| The free government court apps | Genuinely good for looking up a matter, and free for anyone. For one or two cases they are enough. | They answer when asked. They do not watch a portfolio, translate an order into an instruction, create the resulting deadline, or tell your clerk. |
| Lawgger | Watches the portfolio, digests the order, creates the deadline, and notifies the chamber. | It cannot report an order that has not been uploaded. No system can, and anyone claiming otherwise is describing something else. |

Lawgger is software for advocates. It is not a law firm and gives no legal advice. This page carries no live court data; matters are tracked inside the app, behind your login.
Take the matter's CNR, add it once, and let the software watch it. From then on every listing, every uploaded order and every change of next date attaches to that identifier. Tracking by name or case number also works, but it comes loose when a name is typed differently or a matter is renumbered.
Be told rather than check. A next date exists on the record only once the order of the last hearing is uploaded, which can be the same evening or several days later. A tracked matter delivers the date when it appears, so nobody has to remember to look on the third day and the fifth.
Yes. Lawgger covers around 700 district courts across 722 districts in 35 states and union territories, alongside the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts. For most practices the district court matters are the ones that need tracking most, because they carry the largest number of dates and the shortest compliance windows.
Yes. NCLT, NCLAT and CAT are covered alongside the courts, so a company petition, a service matter and a writ petition appear on one list with one set of reminders. Tribunal matters are tracked by the identifier that forum actually uses rather than being forced into a court format.
Yes. Hearing and listing reminders can go over WhatsApp so that counsel, clerk and junior all see the same thing without logging in. The full matter — order digest, next date, deadlines, documents — stays in the app. The message is a prompt to open the matter, not a replacement for it.
Yes. A matter can be shared with the people in your chamber who work on it, with tasks assigned, actions gated behind approval where you want them to be, and a chat thread attached to the matter itself. The point is that the next date is not knowledge held by one person's phone.
The matter shows the position as it stands, without a next date, and the date arrives when the order does. This is the honest limit of every tracking system in India: nothing can report an order that has not yet been put on the record. What tracking removes is the need to keep checking until it appears.
Yes — the free government court apps let anyone look up a matter and see its status, and for one or two cases that is genuinely enough. What they do not do is watch a portfolio for you, translate an order into a working instruction, create the resulting deadline, or tell your clerk. That gap is what paid tracking is for.
Fourteen days free, no card. Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year afterwards — about Rs 66 a day — with GST invoices and cancellation whenever you like.
