Delhi

Legal software for advocates in Delhi

No other city in India makes an advocate hold three forums in their head before breakfast. A mention at Patiala House, an item in the High Court, and a listing in the Supreme Court that may or may not be reached — all on one Tuesday, all published separately, all moving at once.

The short answer

A Delhi practice runs across three levels at once — the Supreme Court, the Delhi High Court and district complexes from Tis Hazari to Dwarka. Lawgger puts the cause lists, live boards during court hours, CNR tracking, good-law-checked research, drafting and GST billing for all of them in one subscription at Rs 1,999 a month. It is registered in Jammu & Kashmir, with no Delhi office.

The map

Which courts does a Delhi advocate actually work in?

The answer is the reason this page exists. Delhi is the only Indian metro that stacks the Supreme Court, a High Court with its own original side and a dedicated intellectual property division, a spread of separately named district complexes, and the principal benches of several national tribunals inside a single city. A Delhi practice is not one forum with occasional visits elsewhere. It is a portfolio.

Apex

Supreme Court of India

Miscellaneous days, regular hearing matters, and the long wait to be reached. Lawgger carries the list and the board, and holds the full text of Supreme Court judgments for research. Supreme Court page.

High Court

Delhi High Court

Writs, appeals, company and commercial work, an original side, and an intellectual property division that draws counsel from across the country. Delhi High Court page.

District

Tis Hazari

The oldest of the city's district complexes and still one of the busiest. Civil, criminal and a very large volume of ordinary chamber work.

District

Patiala House

New Delhi district. A complex where a 10.30 mention can be forty minutes from a High Court item, which is exactly the scheduling problem this page is about.

District

Saket

South and South East. A heavy matrimonial, commercial and consumer docket, and the complex most South Delhi chambers organise their week around.

District

Rohini

North West. A large criminal and civil docket serving one of the most populous parts of the city, and a long drive from the High Court on a bad morning.

District

Karkardooma

East and North East. Another full-service complex, and one where an advocate holding matters both here and in Dwarka effectively runs two practices.

District

Dwarka

South West. The complex at the opposite end of the city from Karkardooma, which is why a consolidated list matters more in Delhi than almost anywhere else.

District

Rouse Avenue

The complex most associated with matters carrying a central-agency flavour, and therefore with counsel who also hold High Court and Supreme Court briefs in the same file.

Beyond the courts, Delhi is where a great deal of tribunal work sits. Lawgger carries display boards for the NCLT, the NCLAT and the CAT alongside the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts — 527 courts and 426 benches in all — so a company-law matter and a service matter can live in the same watchlist as a bail application. We do not publish bench addresses, court numbers or timings beyond the general court-hours guidance, because those change and a wrong one costs an advocate a hearing.

The Delhi problem

A day that spans three forums

A mention at Patiala House at 10.30. An item in the High Court that could be reached at 12 or at 3. A Supreme Court listing at serial 58 that may not be reached at all. Nobody can physically watch three boards, and a clerk sent to stand in one corridor is a clerk who is not in the other two.

1

The matters go in once

Add each matter by CNR number and it comes in with its history rather than being retyped from a file. District, High Court and Supreme Court matters sit in one list. What a CNR number is and case tracking.

2

The evening before, one list

Your matters are matched against the next day's listings across every forum you appear in. You learn on Monday evening that Tuesday is a district day with one High Court item, not at 9.40 on Tuesday in a corridor. Cause list by advocate.

3

From 10.30, three boards on one screen

The live boards run during court hours. You watch the item number moving in the court you are not standing in, which is the only way to decide whether to leave Patiala House now or wait out the mention. Live display boards.

4

What happened, in plain words

When an order is passed in a matter you could not attend, you get a plain-words digest — "interim stay granted; counter due in four weeks" — rather than a status line you have to decode. Case status.

Lists and boards

The list is out in the evening. It should be on your phone.

Courts publish the next day's cause list in the evening. That is the moment a Delhi practice is actually planned — which complex you start at, whether a junior can cover the mention, whether the High Court item is worth the trip, whether the brief you have not read yet has become urgent. The list exists. The problem is that it exists in as many places as you have forums, and each has its own shape: advance lists, daily lists, supplementary lists, and the additions that land late.

Lawgger pulls the day's listings for every court you practise in, matches them against your matters, and gives you one view: what is listed, before which bench, at what serial. You can also search a cause list for any court on any date by party name, advocate name or case number, which is how you find out whether the other side's counsel is listed elsewhere the same morning. Cause lists run for roughly 700 district courts across 722 districts, so a Delhi advocate with an outstation matter in Haryana or Uttar Pradesh does not fall off the edge of the product.

Two honest limits. This website cannot show you a live board or a cause list — those run inside the app, against official court records, and the boards are live only during court hours, broadly 10:30 to 16:30 IST. And no software removes the need to be present; it only removes the need to guess.

2.07 crore judgments, and a verdict on every authority

Delhi is a city where a written submission may be read by a Delhi High Court bench in the morning and by a Supreme Court bench a year later. That raises the cost of a bad citation more than it does almost anywhere else. An authority that was sound when a junior found it in 2022 may have been overruled since, and the person who notices is not always on your side of the bar table.

Lawgger answers over 2.07 crore judgments in full text — the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts — and pins every answer to the page it came from, so what you take into a draft is a citation with a paragraph, not a paraphrase. Every authority carries a verdict: still good law, or overruled. There are 1.28 crore case-to-section links and 18 lakh citation links behind that, connecting a judgment to the provision it construes and to the cases that later dealt with it.

Authority Check is the part a Delhi practice tends to use hardest. Paste a brief and you get back a Table of Authorities with a verdict against each entry — the check a diligent junior does over two evenings, done before the conference. Read how research works, how good-law checking works, and Authority Check. If you have ever been handed a citation that did not exist, why every citation here is a real one is the page to read.

The arithmetic

What a Delhi chamber pays for research today

Legal research in India has been priced for institutions. SCC Online, Manupatra and LexisNexis are commonly quoted to Indian chambers in the range of Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 3 lakh a year — for research alone. No cause lists. No boards. No CNR tracking. No limitation clocks. No drafting. No billing. Those are separate problems that a Delhi chamber currently solves with a diary, a clerk, a WhatsApp group and a spreadsheet.

Lawgger is Rs 1,999 a month, or Rs 19,999 a year — about Rs 66 a day — and that single subscription carries the research, the listings, the deadlines, the drafting and the billing together. We are not claiming the established publishers are poor products; they have decades of editorial work behind their headnotes and their reporters' pagination, and Lawgger does not replace a court-accepted reporter's citation. We are saying the price was set for a firm with a library budget, and most Delhi chambers are not that. Do the sum yourself on what legal research costs in India, or read the direct comparison with SCC Online.

Drafting and the chamber

The half of the day that is not in court

A Delhi advocate who has spent a morning between two complexes still has a reply to settle, a notice to send, a vakalatnama to get executed and a fee note nobody has raised. Lawgger's drafting side starts from a prompt, turns it into an intake form that asks for the facts a draft actually needs, and produces a finished draft you then edit — rather than a blank page at 10 pm. There are 3,500+ Indian formats across 61 categories behind it, along with document tools for OCR, stamping, compression and conversion, and a private vault that belongs to your chamber alone.

The practice side carries matters, clients, a tasks kanban, a live billing timer, GST invoices, Razorpay payment links, approval workflows for chambers where a filing goes out under a senior's name, team chat and WhatsApp updates to clients. A one-person chamber can leave the approval workflows switched off; a twelve-advocate Delhi firm cannot. The price does not change either way. See drafting, practice management, the format library, and the limitation calculator that tracks 21 statutory clocks and rolls a due date past weekends, gazetted holidays and court vacations instead of landing it on a day the court is shut.

Questions

What Delhi advocates ask first

Yes. Cause lists and case tracking cover the Delhi High Court and the district court complexes at Tis Hazari, Patiala House, Saket, Rohini, Karkardooma, Dwarka and Rouse Avenue, alongside the Supreme Court. District matters and High Court matters sit in the same watchlist, so an advocate who appears in both sees one consolidated list rather than checking each forum separately.

Yes, inside the Lawgger app during court hours, which are broadly 10:30 to 16:30 IST. The board shows the item being taken up in a given court so you can judge whether your item is close. The marketing website does not carry live court data; the boards run in the app, drawn from official court records. See live display boards.

No. Lawgger has no office, address or telephone line in Delhi. The company is registered in Jammu & Kashmir, is DPIIT-recognised, and it serves advocates across India over the internet. Delhi advocates are among the people it is built for, but the company is not located in Delhi and does not claim to be. About Lawgger.

Yes, and that is the ordinary case in Delhi. One subscription carries Supreme Court matters, Delhi High Court matters and district matters together. Research covers 2.07 crore judgments in full text from the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, so a proposition can be traced from a district judgment up to the authority that binds it.

Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year, which is about Rs 66 a day. The price is the same everywhere in India; there is no Delhi rate. A GST invoice is issued for the subscription, payment runs through Razorpay, and there is no lock-in period, so a chamber can cancel at any time. See pricing.

Yes. Fourteen days of the full product with no card, which in Delhi is long enough to cover several hearing dates across two or three forums. After the trial Lawgger is Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year, and you can cancel at any time.

No. Lawgger is a software company. It does not practise law, does not appear before any court, does not accept briefs and gives no legal advice. It advertises software to advocates and not legal services to litigants, which is what the Bar Council of India rules require. Every judgment it shows is an original judgment in a real case.

Three forums, one list

Fourteen days, the full product, no card. Long enough to cover a district date, a High Court item and one Supreme Court listing.

Lawgger is a software company, not a law firm. It gives no legal advice and has no office in Delhi; it is registered in Jammu & Kashmir and serves advocates across India.
