Where it is published
Calcutta High Court publishes its cause lists on its own website, calcuttahighcourt.gov.in. Pick the date, the side or establishment (Appellate Side, Original Side, Jalpaiguri, Port Blair) and the list type, then view or download the PDF. Dated daily lists, such as the Original Side list, are also posted as PDFs on the home page. LawCentral does not host or copy the list — always open the court’s own copy before you leave for court.
Seats and benches

- Original Side
- Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri

Reading one entry
Every entry sits under a bench. Read it left to right: where, before whom, in what order, which case.
Court no. 12 · Division Bench · Hon’ble [Judge’s name]
27. [Case type] 0000/2026 [Petitioner] v. [Respondent]
Advocates: [Petitioner’s advocate] / [Respondent’s advocate]
- Court no.
- The room. Benches sit in numbered courts; the number can change day to day.
- Bench
- The bench header — a single judge or a division bench, named as “Hon’ble …”. Every entry below it is heard by them.
- 27.
- The item number: your place in that bench’s list for the day. It tells you roughly when the bench reaches you, not a fixed time.
- [Case type] 0000/2026
- Case type, number and year — the number you file under and search by.
- Advocates
- The advocates shown for each side, as recorded by the registry. This is the name to search for when you track all your matters at once.
Kinds of list
The cause-list page carries: Daily List, Monthly List, Supplementary Lists (numbered 1 to 5), Lok Adalat Cause List. Check every list published for your date, not only the first one you open — a later list can add matters.

Questions advocates ask
Where is the Calcutta High Court cause list published?
On the court’s own website, calcuttahighcourt.gov.in. Pick the date, the side or establishment (Appellate Side, Original Side, Jalpaiguri, Port Blair) and the list type, then view or download the PDF.
Can I find my matters by advocate name?
The cause-list page does not offer an advocate-name search. Open the list for your date and search it (Ctrl / ⌘ F) for your name as it appears in the court’s records, then for your case number.
What does the item number tell me?
Your position in that bench’s list for the day. It is a running order, not an appointment time — a matter can be called earlier or passed over.
Is the Calcutta High Court cause list on eCourts too?
Yes — the court’s own site links out to the eCourts High Court services portal (hcservices.ecourts.gov.in), where you pick the High Court, the bench and the date. Where the two differ, follow the court’s own notices.
