Telangana High Court · Hyderabad

Telangana High Court: a new court with a long back-catalogue

Its own decisions since 2019, and the authority behind them from a court that no longer exists. Lawgger carries both, in full text.

In short

The High Court for the State of Telangana sits at Hyderabad and came into existence on 1 January 2019, when the former common High Court at Hyderabad was bifurcated. Lawgger carries its cause lists for any date, the live display board through court hours, CNR case tracking, and the full text of judgments from before and after the split.

The judgments that came before the split

A Telangana practice is younger than most of the authorities it relies on. The court itself dates from 1 January 2019. The case law an advocate here argues from goes back decades further — to the former common High Court at Hyderabad, and behind that to the composite Andhra Pradesh High Court.

Those decisions did not stop existing on the day of the bifurcation. They sit in briefs, in commentaries, in the pleadings of matters that were pending across the split and are still running. They are cited every day in both Hyderabad and Amaravati.

But their standing is exactly the kind of thing an advocate must check rather than assume. What weight an authority of a predecessor court carries, in which of the two successor courts, and whether it has since been overruled, doubted or displaced by later decision or by statute, is a question with a real answer that has to be looked up. It is not a question that can be settled by the fact that a case has always been cited.

This is why depth and verdicts matter more here than in a court with unbroken lineage. Lawgger carries 2.07 crore Indian judgments in full text across the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, including the decisions of the predecessor courts, with 1.28 crore case-to-section links and 18 lakh citation links. Every answer is pin-cited to the page, and every authority carries a good-law verdict.

Paste a draft brief into Authority Check and you get a Table of Authorities with a verdict against every case in it. For a practice that leans on a predecessor court's reports, that is the single most useful thing on the list. See good-law checking and legal research.

Lists

Cause lists for any date

Advance, daily and supplementary — and the evening on which they land.

Courts publish in layers. An advance list gives notice some days ahead that a matter is coming up. The daily list is the running order for a particular hearing day, published on the evening before. A supplementary list adds items after the daily list has gone out, sometimes late in the same night.

The supplementary is where practices get caught. An advocate who checked at eight and stopped checking will not know about an item added at ten. Lawgger keeps looking after you have stopped: save a matter once, and if it appears in any list — daily or supplementary — you are told, with the court number and the item number.

Lists can be read by party name, by advocate name or by case number. Advocate-wise reading is how most chambers actually work, because one name covers everything the chamber has to staff tomorrow. See the cause list guide and advocate-wise cause lists.

Live, through court hours

The live display board

The list tells you where you stand in the order. The board tells you how fast that order is moving. It carries the court number and the item number currently being taken up, and it is the only real answer to how much time you have.

Watch for pass over (called and stood down, to be taken again later), part heard (continuing from an earlier day, and capable of holding a court for a long time), and not reached (the court did not get to it).

Lawgger's boards run live through court hours, generally 10:30 to 16:30 IST, across 527 courts and 426 benches. This website does not show live court data — the boards are in the app. Read the display board guide.

A common question

I have matters in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh — can I watch both?

Yes, on one screen. And it is worth saying plainly because it is genuinely common. Bifurcation did not sort practices neatly into two boxes. Clients kept operations on both sides. Matters that were pending on the day of the split carried on. Advocates who had built a practice at Hyderabad found parts of it now belonged to a court at Amaravati.

Lawgger treats that as one practice, not two. Matters at the Telangana High Court and at the Andhra Pradesh High Court live in the same watchlist. You get both cause lists in one evening view, both live boards through court hours, and CNR tracking on matters in either, with the same plain-words digest of every order.

The same is true of the district tiers of both states, and of every other High Court in the country. See all courts covered.

A conference that changes language mid-sentence

Hyderabad's professional life is genuinely multilingual in a way that is unusual even in India. Telugu, Urdu, Hindi and English move through a single conference without anyone remarking on it, and a client's instructions and an advocate's note may not be in the same language as the judgment being discussed.

Lawgger works in 10 Indian languages. Put the question in the language you are thinking in and read the answer in it. The judgment underneath stays in full text, in the language it was delivered in, pin-cited to the page — which is what keeps the answer an authority rather than a paraphrase. See how the AI works and why pin-cites matter. The current list of supported languages is shown in the app.

Below the High Court

District courts across Telangana

Lawgger carries cause lists for around 700 district courts nationally, for any court on any date, across 722 districts in 35 states and union territories. Telangana's district courts are covered on the same terms as the High Court: save a matter by CNR and every order arrives as a plain-words digest with the next date attached.

That digest is written to be forwarded. Interim stay granted; counter due in four weeks. A client can read it without a call, which is most of what a client wants. See case status and what a CNR number is.

Tribunals

NCLT, NCLAT and CAT, on the same boards

A Hyderabad practice is rarely confined to the High Court. Company work goes to the NCLT and on appeal to the NCLAT. Service matters go to the CAT. An advocate carrying both a writ and an insolvency matter is watching two institutions in the same week and, often enough, on the same morning.

Lawgger's live boards cover the NCLT, the NCLAT and the CAT alongside the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts. The watchlist does not distinguish between them: a matter is a matter, and it appears in your evening view whichever forum it is before. See case tracking and practice management for how those listings become tasks with owners inside a chamber.
