Hyderabad

Legal software for advocates in Hyderabad

No other bar in India was one bar for one High Court and then, on a single date, found itself working across two. Hyderabad advocates carry matters in Telangana and in Andhra Pradesh, and cite authority from a court that no longer sits.

The short version

Many Hyderabad chambers still hold files in two High Courts — Telangana here and Andhra Pradesh at Amaravati — besides the city civil and sessions courts, NCLT and CAT. Lawgger gathers both states' listings, live boards and CNR updates into one evening view, and adds research, drafting and GST billing for Rs 1,999 a month. The company is in Jammu & Kashmir, not Hyderabad.

The question

Do you still carry matters in both states?

Until 1 January 2019 one High Court sat at Hyderabad for both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. From that date there have been two: the High Court for the State of Telangana at Hyderabad, and the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, which sits at Amaravati. The states had already been separated in 2014; the court followed later.

What that produced is a bar unlike any other in the country. A practice built over twenty years does not re-sort itself by state boundary because a notification says so. Clients in Andhra Pradesh kept the counsel they trusted. Matters filed years earlier carried on. Families, firms and businesses on both sides of the line kept instructing the same chambers. The result is that a very large number of Hyderabad advocates now hold live matters before two High Courts, roughly 250 kilometres apart, with two cause lists, two boards and two hearing calendars.

Every other city page on this site is about doing one thing well in one place. This one is about doing the same thing twice, in two states, without dropping either. See the Telangana High Court page and the Andhra Pradesh High Court page.

Two courts

Two High Courts, one watchlist

Not two subscriptions, not two applications, not a clerk in each city. One list that knows both.

1

Add matters from either court, the same way

Add by CNR number and the matter comes in with its history rather than being retyped. A Telangana writ and an Amaravati appeal sit side by side in the same caseload. What a CNR number is.

2

Both boards, during court hours

From roughly 10:30 to 16:30 IST the live boards for both courts run on one screen. When you are physically at one and listed at the other, you can see what is being reached instead of ringing someone to ask. Live display boards.

3

One evening view for tomorrow

Both next-day lists, matched against your own matters, in one place: what is listed, before which bench, at what serial. And when you cannot attend, a plain-words digest of what the order did. Cause list by advocate.

The archive

The authorities that came before 2019

Decades of decisions were handed down at Hyderabad by the common High Court, and before that by the composite Andhra Pradesh High Court. They are cited every day in both states, on land, tenancy, service, revenue, criminal and commercial questions, because that is where the law on those subjects was worked out.

Lawgger's position on those authorities is deliberately narrow. We carry them: they are part of the 2.07 crore judgments held in full text across the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, searchable, pin-cited to the page, joined to the provisions they construe by 1.28 crore case-to-section links. And we tell you what the good-law check finds — still good law, or overruled — for every authority we give you.

What we do not do is tell you what weight a bench will give a predecessor court's decision. That is an argument, sometimes a contested one, and it belongs to you rather than to software. The rule we would put to any junior in this city is the same one the product is built on: check, do not assume. An authority that has sat unchallenged in a chamber's precedent file since 2016 is exactly the kind that nobody has re-verified. Run Authority Check over the brief and you get a Table of Authorities with a verdict against each entry before it is argued, not after. See research and good-law checking.

The other forums

What else a Hyderabad practice holds

Tribunal

NCLT Hyderabad

Company and insolvency matters. The board is carried alongside the NCLAT, so a first-instance listing and an appeal are followed the same way.

Tribunal

CAT

Service matters for central government employees — a steady docket in a city with a large central establishment presence.

City

Civil and sessions courts

The city's civil and metropolitan sessions forums, where the ordinary run of suits, injunctions and criminal work is conducted.

Districts

Both states' district courts

Cause lists run for roughly 700 district courts across 722 districts, which for a two-state practice is the difference between covering everything and covering half of it.

Deadlines

21 limitation clocks

Rolled past weekends, gazetted holidays and court vacations rather than landing on a closed day, with section 5 condonation flagged instead of assumed. Limitation calculator.

Coverage

527 courts, 426 benches

Everything above sits in one subscription, with the boards live during court hours, broadly 10:30 to 16:30 IST. Courts, Live.

Lists and boards

Advance, daily, supplementary — twice over

Both courts publish an advance list, a daily list the evening before, and supplementary lists with late additions. For a practice spread across two states that is not twice the reading; done manually it is worse than twice, because the two are checked at different times and one always gets checked badly.

Lawgger matches your matters against both, so what arrives is an answer rather than a document: listed, before which bench, at what serial, at which court. You can also search a cause list for any court on any date by party name, advocate name or case number. From the start of court hours the live boards run for both, and where you cannot attend, the order comes back as a plain-words digest — "interim stay granted; counter due in four weeks" — instead of a status line to decode.

Honestly stated: this website cannot show a live board or a cause list. Those run inside the app, against official court records, and only during court hours. See cause list search and CNR case tracking.

Language

Telugu, Urdu and English

Hyderabad is genuinely multilingual in a way that shows up in files, not just in conversation. A title document may be in Urdu, a client's account of a family arrangement in Telugu, the plaint in English, the evidence somewhere between the three. Advocates here switch without noticing; the software usually cannot.

Lawgger works in 10 Indian languages. The question can be asked in Telugu, and the pin-cited answer still points at the English text of the judgment you will cite. See Lawgger AI.

Price

Two High Courts, one subscription

Rs 1,999 a month, or Rs 19,999 a year — about Rs 66 a day. Following two High Courts does not cost more than following one, and there is no per-seat charge. Against that, research-only subscriptions from SCC Online, Manupatra and LexisNexis are commonly quoted to Indian chambers between Rs 1.5 lakh and Rs 3 lakh a year, for a single user, with no cause lists, no boards, no tracking, no deadlines, no drafting and no billing.

One subscription here replaces a research subscription and a diary application both. Fourteen days free with no card first, and you can cancel at any time. GST invoice for the subscription, Razorpay for payment, no lock-in. See pricing and what legal research costs in India.

Questions

What Hyderabad advocates ask

Yes, in one watchlist and on one subscription. Lawgger covers all 25 High Courts, so matters before the Telangana High Court at Hyderabad and the Andhra Pradesh High Court at Amaravati appear together — cause lists, live display boards and CNR case tracking alike. There is no second subscription and no extra charge for the second court.

Yes. Lawgger holds 2.07 crore judgments in full text from the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts, which includes the decisions handed down at Hyderabad before the two High Courts were separated on 1 January 2019, and those of the composite Andhra Pradesh High Court before that. Every authority carries a good-law verdict.

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

Yes. Live display boards are carried for the NCLT, the NCLAT and the CAT alongside the Supreme Court and all 25 High Courts. For a Hyderabad practice holding a company matter, a service matter and a writ at the same time, that means three forums in one watchlist rather than three separate places to look.

Yes. Lawgger works in 10 Indian languages, Telugu among them. You can ask a question in Telugu and get a pin-cited answer pointing at the English text of the judgment, which is the form the High Court record takes. Hyderabad practice moves between Telugu, Urdu and English routinely, and the research should not force one of them.

Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year, about Rs 66 a day. Following two High Courts costs the same as following one; there is no per-court or per-seat charge and no Hyderabad rate. A GST invoice is issued for the subscription, payment runs through Razorpay, and there is no lock-in period. See pricing.

Yes, fourteen days of the full product with no card — enough to cover hearing dates at both courts if your practice runs across the two. After the trial Lawgger is Rs 1,999 a month or Rs 19,999 a year, and you can cancel at any time.
