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: Regular CauseList, Entire Causelist, Supplementary CauseList, Registrar Judicial Causelist, CauseList Notice, Old Causelist as Archive. Check every list published for your date, not only the first one you open — a later list can add matters.
