You can check case status on the eCourts Services website or official app using a CNR, case number or other available search options. A CNR is generally a 16-character alphanumeric identifier.
If you do not have the CNR, search options may be available using the party name, advocate, FIR or case details. Select the correct district, court and case year. Portal updates may be delayed; for an important date, it is useful to check the order sheet and confirm with the court or your advocate. Not finding a search result does not prove that the case has ended.
What should you do now?
- Find the correct CNR or case number from an earlier order or filing receipt.
- Check the case history, next date and available orders on the official portal.
- Read the date and operative directions in the downloaded order.
Which documents should you keep?
CNR, case number, year, court and party details.
Avoid this mistake
Do not overlook compliance directions in the order based only on a screenshot showing the next date.
A hypothetical example
The portal shows a next date, but the order directs a document to be filed before that date. Merely noting the date is not enough. Reading the full order and preparing a compliance calendar are essential parts of tracking a case.
Is every copy from the portal a certified copy?
No. Check the separate requirements for a certified copy for the purpose for which you need it.
