A Delhi practice is rarely one building. Lawgger keeps the High Court and every district complex in the city on one screen, from the evening list to the live board.
Lawgger shows the Delhi High Court cause list for any date, the live display board through court hours, and case tracking by CNR with a plain-words digest of every order. It also covers Delhi's district court complexes — Tis Hazari, Patiala House, Saket, Rohini, Karkardooma, Dwarka and Rouse Avenue — so one screen carries a Delhi practice.
Delhi is the only city in India where the Supreme Court, a High Court with its own original side, and seven separately named district court complexes all sit inside one metro.
The consequence is a working day nobody outside Delhi quite recognises. A mention at the Supreme Court in the morning, an application before the High Court after it, and an evidence date at a district complex on the other side of the city in the afternoon is an ordinary Tuesday, not a crisis. Each of those forums publishes its own list, on its own timing, in its own format.
Which means the failure here is not usually forgetting a matter. It is arithmetic: two things listed at the same hour, in two buildings forty minutes apart, discovered on the morning rather than the previous evening. Lawgger's answer is deliberately unglamorous. One watchlist, every forum in the city, and a single view of the next working day that shows the clash while there is still time to send a colleague or seek a pass over.
The oldest of the Delhi complexes and among the largest, carrying a broad civil and criminal district docket. Cause lists and CNR tracking work here exactly as they do at the High Court.
Long associated with matters arising in the New Delhi district, including a substantial criminal side and specially designated courts. Watch its lists alongside your High Court matters.
Serves the south of the city and carries a heavy civil, matrimonial and criminal load. A common second forum for advocates whose principal practice is in the High Court.
Serves the north-west of Delhi with a large district docket. Distance from the High Court makes the evening list, rather than the morning board, the document that decides your day.
Serves the east of the city. For an advocate with matters here and at the High Court on the same date, the travel decision has to be made the night before.
Serves the south-west, including the airport side of the city. Lawgger carries its daily lists and pushes an alert when a saved matter is listed.
Home to courts dealing with matters involving public servants and elected representatives, among other work. Its lists are watched by counsel who are rarely in the building daily.
Most High Courts in India hear appeals and writs and leave suits to the district judiciary. Delhi does not. It retains ordinary original civil jurisdiction above a pecuniary threshold, which is why a commercial suit of any size is filed in this building rather than in a district complex — and why the commercial bar in Delhi lives at the High Court in a way its counterparts in most states do not.
The same logic explains the concentration of intellectual property work here. The High Court has a dedicated Intellectual Property Division, and IP matters are listed through it, which gives Delhi a specialist docket that shapes the daily list: interim applications in trade mark and patent suits, and the injunction practice that goes with them.
For an advocate, the practical effect on list-reading is that Delhi's board mixes writs, appeals, suits and applications in the same building on the same morning, under different case-type prefixes. Knowing your prefix — a writ, a suit, an appeal, a company petition — is how you narrow a long list to the part that concerns you, and it is the first filter Lawgger applies for you.
The next working day's list is published by the court on the evening before. That single fact organises a Delhi advocate's day more than anything else: the real planning happens after six in the evening, on a phone, usually not at a desk.
There are three documents to keep apart. An advance list gives notice of matters expected on a future date — useful for preparation, not a promise. The daily list is the operative one for a working day, bench by bench, in item order. A supplementary list carries what was added after the daily list went out: urgent mentioning matters, freshly numbered matters, matters released by another bench. The daily list alone is never the final word, and the supplementary is the one people miss.
Lawgger watches all three for the matters you have saved, and tells you when any of them names you. The full cause list guide explains each list type in detail.
Add each matter once, by case number or CNR, across the High Court and whichever district complexes you appear in. That is the whole of the setup, and it is done in a single sitting.
For anything not yet saved — a matter you are being briefed in tomorrow, a colleague's listing you have been asked to cover — search the published list directly. See advocate-wise cause lists for finding everything listed against your name on a date.
Once a matter is saved you stop looking. When it appears in any list at any Delhi forum, Lawgger tells you the court number, the bench and the item number, that evening, on your phone.
The list is the plan; the board is what is actually happening. Through court hours — typically 10:30 to 16:30 IST — the board shows which item each court is on right now. That is what converts an item number into a decision: item 41 with the court on item 12 at 11:15 means one thing; item 41 with the court on item 38 means you should already be walking.
In a city where your next matter may be in a different building, that difference is the whole value. For the notation you will meet — pass over, part heard, not reached, at the end of the board — see the display board guide.
Every matter on the record carries a CNR, a permanent identifier that does not change when the case number or the year of registration does. Save the CNR and the matter stays tracked for its whole life. Read what a CNR number is if you have not used one before.
Each order that comes on the file is turned into a line you can read in four seconds and forward to a client without rewriting it. For a Delhi writ, that reads like: W.P.(C) — interim stay granted; counter due in four weeks. Or: Application for interim injunction — notice issued; matter listed after summer vacation. More on this in case tracking and case status.
Delhi's reported judgments sit inside Lawgger's coverage of 2.07 crore Indian judgments in full text, across the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, joined by 1.28 crore case-to-section links and 18 lakh citation links. Every answer is pin-cited to the page it came from, so you read the passage in the judgment rather than a paraphrase of it.
Every authority also carries a good-law verdict — still good law, or overruled, doubted or displaced. In a commercial and IP docket where the governing authority moves, that check is the difference between a citation that helps and one that costs you the point. See how research works, and why pin-citing matters when software is involved.
Stated honestly, for one advocate: research subscriptions from the established Indian and international providers have typically been quoted in the range of Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh a year for research alone, before any practice software is added.

The court publishes the daily list for a hearing day on the evening before that day, and supplementary items can follow later the same evening or on the hearing morning. There is no fixed clock time to rely on. Lawgger shows the list as soon as the court publishes it and alerts you if a matter on your watchlist appears in it.
The seven district court complexes in Delhi: Tis Hazari, Patiala House, Saket, Rohini, Karkardooma, Dwarka and Rouse Avenue. Cause lists and case tracking work the same way there as at the High Court, so a Delhi practice that runs across the High Court and two or three complexes sits on one screen.
Yes, in the Lawgger app. The board runs live through court hours, roughly 10:30 to 16:30 IST, and shows which item is being taken up in each court. It is the fastest way to judge whether to leave for the court now or finish a conference first. This website does not show live court data; the boards are in the app.
Set your name once in the app and Lawgger pulls out every item listed against it, across the High Court and the district complexes, for whichever date you choose. Advocate-name search in a published list is approximate because names are entered by hand, so pair it with saved case numbers for the matters you cannot afford to miss.
Yes. Lawgger carries the Supreme Court of India alongside all 25 High Courts, around 700 district courts, and the NCLT, NCLAT and CAT — 527 courts and 426 benches in all. For a Delhi advocate that matters more than elsewhere, because the Supreme Court and the High Court sit in the same city.
Yes. Delhi High Court judgments sit inside Lawgger's 2.07 crore full-text judgment coverage across the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts. Every answer is pin-cited to the page, and every authority carries a good-law verdict so you know whether it still stands before you rely on it.
