This is the court that national legal software quietly leaves out. It is also the court on which a claim of full coverage is properly tested.
The High Court of Sikkim sits at Gangtok and serves Sikkim. It is the smallest High Court in India by sanctioned judge strength. Lawgger carries its cause lists for any date, the live display board through court hours, and CNR case tracking with a plain-words digest — the same coverage it gives the largest courts.
Ask an advocate in Gangtok what happens when they try a national legal product. The pattern is familiar. The research library has Delhi, Bombay, Madras, Calcutta and a handful of the larger High Courts. Cause lists cover the metropolitan courts. And Sikkim is somewhere in a footnote, or simply absent, and nobody says so on the marketing page.
It is not malice. It is arithmetic. A court with a small bench, a short list and a compact bar is the least profitable place to do the work of covering a court properly, so it gets done last, or not at all.
Lawgger's claim is 25 out of 25 High Courts, the Supreme Court, and the NCLT, NCLAT and CAT — 527 courts and 426 benches. A claim like that is not tested at Delhi. It is tested here. If the Sikkim cause list is missing, the number is a slogan.
So: the High Court of Sikkim is covered. Cause lists for any date, the live display board through court hours, CNR case tracking with plain-words digests, Sikkim's district courts, and the full text of this court's judgments inside the same 2.07 crore judgment coverage as every other court. Not a reduced version. The same one. See every court Lawgger covers.
At a large court the board tells you your item is far away. At Gangtok it tells you the opposite.
There is a comfortable assumption that a small court needs less watching. The reverse is closer to the truth. On a board of a hundred items, being item 40 buys you the morning. On a short board before a small bench, item 9 can be reached well before you expected it, because there is nothing ahead of it to run long.
That is why the live display board matters at Sikkim for precisely the opposite reason it matters at a court like Allahabad. There, you watch the board to know how much time you still have. Here, you watch it so you are not caught out by how little.
Through court hours — roughly 10:30 to 16:30 IST — the board shows the item currently being taken up, with the court number. Lawgger runs it live in the app; this website does not show live court data. See the display board guide for the notation: pass over, part heard, not reached.
Advance, daily and supplementary lists for the High Court of Sikkim, for any date you ask for — including past dates, which is how you settle an argument about what was listed when.
Search by party name, advocate name or case number. In a compact bar the advocate-name route is often the fastest, because a chamber's whole day tends to be visible under one or two names. Then save the matter, and stop searching altogether: Lawgger finds it in every list it appears in and tells you the court and item number, including when a supplementary item is added late at night.
See advocate-wise cause lists and how advance, daily and supplementary lists differ.
Sikkim carries statutory arrangements that differ from the rest of the country in specific respects. That is a structural fact about this jurisdiction, and any advocate practising here knows it better than a marketing page can say it — so this page will not attempt to characterise any particular provision.
The consequence for a research tool is straightforward, though. A product whose statute book is really just the central acts, with state legislation treated as an afterthought, is thinner here than it is anywhere else. What you need is the actual state material, alongside the central material, in the same place.
Lawgger carries 1,607 central and state acts across all 37 jurisdictions, joined to the case law by 1.28 crore case-to-section links. A statutory point and the decisions that turn on it arrive together, rather than requiring two separate hunts. See legal research.
Lawgger covers around 700 district courts nationally, across 722 districts in 35 states and union territories, with cause lists for any of them on any date and case tracking by CNR. Every order that comes on a tracked file is digested into plain words you can send to a client without editing — interim stay granted; counter due in four weeks. See what a CNR number is and case status checking.
Nepali is the language most widely spoken in Sikkim, and a great deal of what a chamber here hears from a client arrives in it, even where the record before the High Court is in English. Lawgger works in 10 Indian languages — you can put a question in one language and read the answer in it, while the judgment the answer is pin-cited to stays in its original language, so nothing shifts on the way. The current list of supported languages is shown in the app. See how the assistant works.
A small bar argues the same Supreme Court authorities as a large one, and often against opponents who have flown in with a research subscription behind them. Depth is not a luxury here.
Lawgger carries 2.07 crore Indian judgments in full text across the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, every answer pin-cited to the page, and every authority carrying a good-law verdict — still good law, or overruled, doubted or otherwise displaced. Paste a draft brief into Authority Check and get back a Table of Authorities with a verdict against each case cited, before it is filed rather than after. See good-law checking.
On dates, Lawgger holds 21 statutory limitation clocks that roll past weekends, gazetted holidays and court vacations, with an application under section 5 flagged rather than assumed. It is a computation on the dates you supply — not advice, and no substitute for your own reading of the Limitation Act. Try the limitation calculator.
Sikkim on the same footing as Delhi: cause lists, live board, CNR tracking, full-text judgments.
Each proposition points to the page it came from, so you verify before you cite rather than after.
Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year, for the whole product — research, lists, boards, tracking, drafting and practice.
The High Court of Sikkim, at Gangtok, is the smallest High Court in India by sanctioned judge strength. It serves the State of Sikkim. Its size does not reduce what an advocate practising there needs: the same cause lists, the same live board, the same case tracking and the same depth of authority as any larger court.
Yes. Lawgger covers all 25 High Courts and the Supreme Court, together with the NCLT, NCLAT and CAT — 527 courts and 426 benches in total. Sikkim is not an exception or an add-on. Its cause lists, its live display board and CNR case tracking work exactly as they do for Delhi or Bombay.
Yes, inside the Lawgger app. The board runs live through court hours, roughly 10:30 to 16:30 IST, showing which item is being taken up in each court. On a short board an item can be reached much earlier than expected, so watching the board here is if anything more useful than at a court with a hundred-item list. The boards are in the app; this website does not show live court data.
The list for a hearing day is published on the evening before it, with supplementary items sometimes added later the same night. There is no fixed clock time. Lawgger shows the list as soon as the court publishes it and alerts you if a matter on your watchlist appears, so a supplementary addition does not go unnoticed.
Yes. Lawgger covers around 700 district courts nationally, across 722 districts in 35 states and union territories, and gives you the cause list for any of them on any date. Sikkim's district courts are included, with the same search by party name, advocate name or case number and the same CNR tracking.
Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year, which is about Rs 66 a day. That single subscription covers research, cause lists, live boards, case tracking, limitation clocks, drafting and practice management. GST invoices are issued and you can cancel at any time. See pricing.
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial of the full product and no card is required to begin. After the trial Lawgger is Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year, and you can cancel at any time. See pricing.
