One High Court, two states and a union territory — and the research problem that arrangement creates.
One High Court at Chandigarh serves three jurisdictions — Punjab, Haryana and the Union Territory itself — so a chamber here can be applying three sets of state law in a week. Lawgger carries that court's cause list and live board, Chandigarh's district courts, tribunal boards, CNR tracking, research, drafting and billing for Rs 1,999 a month. No Chandigarh office.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court serves two states and a union territory from a single seat at Chandigarh. An advocate here may argue a matter under a Punjab enactment before lunch and one under a Haryana enactment after it, with Chandigarh administration work in between. No other city in India asks that of an ordinary general practice.
The consequence for research is precise, and it is not about volume. It is about which book you are in. Where two states have legislated separately in the same field, or amended a central Act differently, an authority that is squarely applicable on one side of the line may be beside the point on the other. The mistake is not usually citing a bad case. It is citing a good case from the wrong statute book, in front of a bench that reads both.
So a Chandigarh chamber needs two things at once: the correct state statute book, and a verdict on whether the authority is still good law. Lawgger carries 1,607 central and state acts across all 37 jurisdictions, and 1.28 crore case-to-section links, so an authority can be read against the provision it actually turned on. Every authority it puts in front of you carries a good-law verdict. See how research works and what good-law checking means.
The board is looked at more often in a working week than any other single thing this court publishes, and what it tells you is simple: which item is on in which court, right now. It runs during court hours, typically 10:30 to 16:30 IST.
Read properly, a board answers three questions. Has your court started. How fast is it moving — item nine at half past eleven and item forty are different days. And has your item been passed over, which is the single most useful thing to know before you commit the next two hours to waiting in a corridor.
Lawgger carries live boards for 527 courts and 426 benches, covering the Supreme Court, all 25 High Courts and the NCLT, NCLAT and CAT sittings. It is read inside the app, not on this website. See how live display boards work and the court page.
Advance lists, daily lists and supplementary lists all matter differently. The advance list tells a chamber what is coming and lets it plan the week's drafting. The daily list, published in the evening, decides tomorrow. The supplementary list is the one that catches people out, because it arrives after the plan has been made.
In Lawgger you can pull the list for any covered court on any date and search it by party name, advocate name or case number, rather than reading it. Searching by advocate name is how most chambers find everything of theirs at once — including the matter listed under a party name nobody in the office remembers. Saved matters are surfaced automatically when the next day's list appears. See how cause lists work.
A Chandigarh chamber typically supervises district work in two states at once. Mohali and Panchkula are effectively part of the same working day; Ludhiana, Patiala, Ambala, Hisar and Gurugram are not, and yet the same chamber is answerable for what happens there. Very little of that work is attended personally by the advocate whose name is on the file.
Lawgger covers around 700 district courts nationally, across 722 districts in 35 states and union territories, which includes the district judiciary of Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh. Pull a cause list for any covered court on any date. Track a matter by CNR number and get a plain-words digest of the last order — "interim stay granted; counter due in four weeks" — the same day rather than a fortnight later. See case status by CNR.
Service law is a large part of what this bar does. Chandigarh is an administrative centre for two states as well as a union territory, CAT sits here, and a great many chambers run a practice that moves between the tribunal and the High Court in the same week.
Lawgger carries CAT, NCLT and NCLAT boards and cause lists alongside the High Court and the district courts, so a practice split across forums is not split across two different habits. A matter that begins before the tribunal and travels up keeps one file, one history and one set of dates.
The High Court runs in English, but the record below and the client do not. District work on the Punjab side comes in Punjabi and on the Haryana side in Hindi, and a chamber in Chandigarh moves between the two without thinking about it. Lawgger works in 10 Indian languages, so a research question can be asked and answered in either, and a client update can go out in the language the client uses.
Judgments stay in the language of the original record. A pin cite has to point at the real page. See how the AI is built.
Paste a brief into Authority Check and it returns a Table of Authorities — every case cited, with a verdict against each: still good law, or overruled. It takes minutes rather than the evening the same exercise takes by hand, and it is worth doing on both sides of a matter. Running it over the other side's authorities is often the shortest route to the weak point in their case.
In a jurisdiction where the applicable statute may differ across the line, the value is doubled: the verdict on the authority and the provision it turned on are read together, not separately. See good-law checking and why fabricated citations are a real risk with general-purpose AI.
Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year — about Rs 66 a day. One subscription covers research across 37 jurisdictions, good-law checking, cause lists, live boards, tribunal boards, case tracking, 21 statutory limitation clocks, drafting from 3,500+ Indian formats, and practice management with a billing timer, GST invoices and Razorpay payments. A 14-day free trial with no card, and you can cancel at any time.
Set against research-only subscriptions from the established names, typically quoted in India at one and a half to three lakh a year for a single user, the arithmetic is not close. See pricing or read how Lawgger compares.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court serves the states of Punjab and Haryana and the Union Territory of Chandigarh. It sits at Chandigarh. That is why a general practice at this bar routinely works across three separate statute books in the course of a single working day. See the court page.
Yes. Lawgger runs in a browser on a phone, and the live display board for the Punjab and Haryana High Court shows which item is on in which court right now during court hours, typically 10:30 to 16:30 IST. It is read inside the app. The marketing website does not show live court data.
Yes. Lawgger carries 1,607 central and state acts across all 37 jurisdictions, which includes the Punjab and Haryana statute books and central legislation. It also holds 1.28 crore case-to-section links, so an authority can be read against the provision it turned on rather than in isolation.
Yes. Alongside the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, Lawgger carries live display boards and cause lists for CAT, NCLT and NCLAT sittings. For a service-law practice in Chandigarh that means the tribunal board and the High Court board sit in the same place instead of two.
